This type of corn began to be planted and grown in the United States, being very popular from the 1890s until the Great Depression because it was fairly cheap and thus became for the Americans one of the few luxuries they could afford.<\/p>\n<p>Almost all around the world people eat it \u201csalted\u201d. This was because during the Second World War, sugar was sent to US troops to make candy. Because of that, there was shortage in the US. Thanks to this unusual situation, the Americans ate three more times popcorn than usual and this was how they continued multiplying their consumption, with added salt already.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-238 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/popchamber.com.ar\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/infgral-300x101.jpg\" alt=\"infgral\" width=\"633\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/popchamber.com.ar\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/infgral-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/popchamber.com.ar\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/infgral-768x258.jpg 768w, https:\/\/popchamber.com.ar\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/infgral-1024x344.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/popchamber.com.ar\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/infgral.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When television arrived, it went into a slump during the 1950s. The attendance to movie theaters decreased and therefore, same did the consumption. Later, people started to eat popcorn again and the new relationship between the television and the microwave popcorn, was what led to a revival of its popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Worlwide habit of popcorn consuming is the result of globalization, cinema chains and the media, producing a \u00abglobal mega trend\u00bb. The particularity of this product is that it is a low-cost snack, easy to transport and simple to elaborate, allowing production where the best agronomic conditions are presented and then allowing easy distribution throughout the planet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Information What is Popcorn?
