The air fryer can explode popcorn.

Tips

1. The popcorn must be popped at the highest temperature. If the temperature is low, the popcorn will be difficult to pop.

2. Don’t put too many corn kernels, and leave enough space for the popped popcorn.

3. Butter can be used instead of vegetable oil, and the fried popcorn will be more fragrant.

Since popcorn is susceptible to moisture, it will lose its crispy and delicious fresh taste when it gets damp. Therefore, popcorn is not easy to store for a long time and should be eaten fresh. If stored, it must be placed in a ventilated and dry place to prevent moisture.

Historical origin

Popcorn is an ancient puffed food. Hundreds of years ago, "necklace" greedy people long before European immigrants moved into this "New World" , the Indians living on this continent have become popular in eating popcorn.

After Columbus returned to Europe, he described vivid scenes of Indian children in the "New World" stringing popcorn into necklaces and selling them on the streets. It was also the Indians who taught the new European immigrants the techniques of planting and roasting corn.

A historian also discovered popcorn eaten by ancient Indians 5,000 years ago in a cave in New Mexico, USA. However, due to the limitations of the "craft" at the time, the taste was far inferior to that of popcorn. Contemporary popcorn is just crunchy.
