Caramel Popcorn: Popcorn coated in a caramelised sugar glaze, often found at fairs.
Gourmet Flavours: These include varieties like cheese, chocolate, maple syrup, and even savoury flavours like za’atar or seaweed.

Popcorn is a whole grain, making it a source of fibre. When air-popped and lightly seasoned, it can be a low-calorie, nutritious snack. Its simplicity and versatility have contributed to its global appeal, with each region bringing its twist to the flavours.

History of Popcorn

Popcorn has a rich history, dating back to Mesoamerican civilisations, where maize was cultivated and even used for decorative purposes. Popcorn became widely popular in the US during the 1800s, and it was initially eaten as a breakfast dish with milk. The invention of the popcorn maker in the 1890s made the snack even more accessible, eventually becoming a staple at fairs, markets, and movie theatres.

In Brazil, it’s known as ‘pipoca’ and is often served lightly salted. Japan enjoys nori-topped popcorn, while the Middle East prefers za’atar-flavoured versions. In Canada, maple popcorn is a sweet nod to the country’s national symbol. From kettle-cooked to caramel-coated, popcorn is loved in many forms.

 Today’s Google Doodle celebrates the beloved classical snack, popcorn, with an engaging interactive game that brings players from around the world together. Whether playing solo or with friends in squad mode, this Doodle offers a lighthearted way to honour popcorn’s rich history and global popularity.  Events Lifestyle News -Fashion Trends, Beauty Tips, Celebrity Party News, Relationship advice, Travel and Food Tips
