Popcorn is known as an ancient snack. Scientists agree that popcorn (and corn in general) originated in the Americas. Research shows that people in coastal regions of Peru were eating popcorn 6,700 years ago. In tombs on Peru’s east coast, researchers have found popcorn grains approximately 1,000 years old.
