Mexico is a place known to offer one of the best beaches in the world.
Most tourists come to Mexico to experience the amazing beaches that can only be found in Mexico.
However, aside from its powdery white sand, breathtaking scenery, and amazing sunset Mexico is also known to be the place where one of the most famous food originated - the popcorn.
It is believed that popcorn came from Mexico.
In 1948, the oldest ears of corn were found in the west central region of Mexico, inside a bat cave.
In addition, the Cachise Indians were believed to be the one responsible for growing and eating corn as early as 2,500 B.
C.
Popcorn was first introduced to English colonists during the first Thanksgiving event that took place in the town of Plymouth in Massachusetts.
It is said that popcorn was brought as a gift by one of the town chief's brother.
Then, the colonists thought of eating popcorn by adding sugar and milk and this gave birth to popcorn to become a breakfast cereal.
In addition, when Columbus reached the West Indies for the first time, he noticed that the inhabitants of the town were eating popcorn and using them as decoration.
On the other hand, during the time that Mexico was invaded by the forces of Cortes in 1519, it was discovered that Aztecs considered popcorn as vital part of their lives for they used popcorn not only as food but also as decorating materials for ceremonial necklaces and head dresses.
Several centuries later, popcorn became a popular form of snack food.
It is in fact a favorite choice of food for moviegoers.
To date, there are more than 700 varieties of popcorn.
