When Was Popcorn First Invented?

Popcorn was introduced in the late 15th century to the Europeans, when Christopher Columbus noted that the Native Americans made popcorn headdresses which they sold to Columbus' sailors. The Native Americans flavoured the popcorn with dried herbs and spices.

Around the year 1612, Freanch explorers in the Great Lake region documented use of popcorn by the Iroquois who popped corn in pottery using hot sand, and they also reported that popcorn soup and popcorn beer were consumed during an Iroquois dinner.

Popcorn was being sold in the United States commercially by the late 19th century, and has now become a popular snack food all over the world. Popcorn has been served in cinemas since 1912 and there will be a stall selling popcorn in almost every cinema. Popcorn is the official state snack of Illinois. More popcorn is produced in Indiana than in any other state in the US. Charles Cretors created the commercial popcorn machine in Chicago, Illinois in 1885.

It was technically invented by native Americans.

From the native american they would throw kernal in fire

It was invented in what is now known as Montana.

This is Proffeser Andrew Jones and I work on great food inventions in New Egland and I know for a fact that William S. Griggs Invented popcorn in the year 1869. If you have any questions about any type of food just write back.

Some may wonder "who invented popcorn"? Popcorn has been a favorite snack literally for centuries. Now popcorn is an American favorite sold at movie theaters across the country as well as in gift baskets given on holidays. It is unclear who the first person to actually invent popcorn, however the oldest ears of popcorn found to date were discovered in a bat cave off west central New Mexico in 1948. The bat cave popcorn ears are gauged to be approximately 4,000 years old. That proves that Americans have literally been snacking on popcornfor centuries!

Popcorn was "invented" by other people in the world as well. It is probably safe to assume that popcorn was popular in places where corn was grown as a major food source. In 1519, Cortes saw popcorn when he invaded Mexico and first met the Aztecs. Popcorn was important to the Aztec Indians as a food source. But, they also made necklaces and decorated their headdresses with popcorn. It has been recorded that the Peruvian Indians in the 16th century were also using popcorn.

Popcorn has been very popular in America. From the 1800s until the Great Depression, street vendors would sell it using steam or gas-powered popcorn poppers. The very first commercial popcorn machine was invented by Charles Creators in 1885 in Chicago, Illinois. There are even old fashioned poppers that'll give your popcorn the same old time flavor that first hooked our society on popcorn.

Popcorn was priced at about five or ten cents a bag during the Depression, and it was a little luxury that most families could afford. This meant that the popcorn business still did well through the Depression.

A favorite treat during the late 1800s through the early 1900s was the popcorn ball. Popcorn balls are simple to make. Many people still enjoy them today, and make them especially for the holiday season. People in the 1800s also ate flavored popcorn. Some favorite flavorings include rose, honey, molasses and sugar. Popcorn was also used to make wonderful holiday decorations like garlands that draped the Christmas tree or fireplace mantle in many Victorian households.
