October brings a monthlong celebration of popcorn — one of oldest, most beloved and most nutritious snack foods!
In 1999, then U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman made National Popcorn Poppin’ Month official to coincide with the popcorn harvest.
For recipes and fun ways to celebrate, visit The Popcorn Board (a national nonprofit) website at popcorn.org.
Don’t worry if you forget to celebrate. Every day is a great day to enjoy America’s favorite snack. That said, put these on your calendar: Jan. 19 marks National Popcorn Day, and April 6 is National Caramel Popcorn Day.
