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.
