I. Historical sources:
Popcorn originated in the Song Dynasty in China. Fan Chengda, a poet, mentioned the custom of exploding grain in Wuzhong on the Shangyuan Festival in his Collection of Shihu, and explained: "The fried glutinous rice is Ibrahimovic, and the grain is Bulou, and the northerners call it glutinous rice flower." Why is popcorn called Bulou? Popcorn should imitate the sound of popcorn, because the local dialect calls the sound of thunder "grinding"
The invention of popcorn embodies the richness of China's diet, and has a deeper meaning, that is, it creates a food processing method-puffed food. It shows that the food processing in ancient China is not only a simple heating cooking, but also uses the physical principle of high temperature and high pressure to change the state and taste of food. This processing method is a modern emerging puffed food.
This processing method has turned ordinary food that we don't agree with each other into delicious and distinctive food snacks. It can be said that popcorn thousands of years ago is the originator of modern puffed food snacks.
Second, the preservation method
Because popcorn is easy to get wet, it will lose its crisp and delicious flavor after getting wet, so it is not easy to keep popcorn for too long, so it should be eaten fresh. If you want to store it, be sure to put it in a ventilated and dry place to prevent it from getting wet.
