Happy World Popcorn Day everyone! 🍿 Today we celebrate this deliciously crunchy and versatile snack that's been a staple in movie theatres, carnivals, and our homes for centuries.
World Popcorn Day is celebrated to acknowledge the historical and cultural significance of popcorn and to appreciate the joy it brings into our lives. From being a source of sustenance for ancient civilizations to becoming a symbol of fun and entertainment in the modern world, popcorn has quite a fascinating history.
To celebrate, why not try this simple homemade popcorn recipe? All you need is:
🔹 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels
🔹 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil
🔹 Salt to taste
1️⃣ Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2️⃣ Add 3-4 popcorn kernels.
3️⃣ When those pop, add the remaining kernels.
4️⃣ Cover the pot, remove from heat for 30 seconds. This primes the popcorn to pop at roughly the same time.
5️⃣ Return the pot to the heat.
6️⃣ Once the popping starts, shake the pot occasionally to make sure all kernels pop. 7️⃣ When the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove from heat. Sprinkle with salt to taste, and enjoy!
Remember, whether you like your popcorn sweet, salty, or buttery, the joy is in the popping, the aroma, and of course, the tasting! 😋
