China had popcorn as early as the Song Dynasty, but the earliest popcorn was not used for eating, but for divination. Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, recorded: "Stir-fried glutinous rice with Ibrahimovic, commonly known as Boluo, and northerners call it glutinous rice flower".
On the occasion of the New Year, people in the Song Dynasty used popcorn for divination, hoping for a bumper harvest and good luck in the future. The more white flowers in popcorn, the better the color, which indicates that there will be a high yield of rice this year.
Historical changes of popcorn
After corn was introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, the raw materials of popcorn changed from glutinous rice and wheat to corn, and with the continuous advancement of time, it became more and more new flavors.
In addition, hundreds of years ago, before European immigrants moved into this "new continent", Indians living on this continent began to eat popcorn.
After Columbus returned to Europe, he once described to people the vivid scene of Indian children in the "New World" selling popcorn in the street wearing necklaces. It was also the Indians who taught the new immigrants in Europe how to grow and bake corn.
A historian also found popcorn eaten by ancient Indians 5000 years ago in a cave in New Mexico, USA, but because of the "technology" at that time, the taste was far from crisp as that of popcorn of the times.
