Most Native Americans enjoyed popcorn even before the birth of Christ. In the Bat Cave of west central New Mexico 5,600 year old popcorn ears were found. In Peruvian tombs 1,000 year old popcorn was found that still pops. Pottery popcorn poppers date back to pre-Inca cultures. Columbus found it in the West Indies. Cortez found Aztecs in Mexico wearing popcorn necklaces and headdresses. The Iroquois of the Great Lakes region popped corn in pottery crocks over heated sand. To this day popcorn is one of America's favorite, most pleasurable snack foods.
Nutrition Facts
As with all whole grain, popcorn contains healthy antioxidants called polyphenols that remove cellular damaging toxins called free radicals. Researchers reported these findings at the 238th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS). Dr. Joe Vinson of the University of Pennsylvania said, "Early researchers thought fiber was the active ingredient for the benefits of whole grain' .... "But recently polyphenols emerged as potentially more important." Dr. Vinson further reported, "We really were surprised by the levels of polyphenols we found in popcorn. I guess it is because it's not processed."
