POPCORN TRIVIA
Popcorn is a whole-grain food.
Popcorn is a type of maize (or corn), a member of the grass family, and is scientifically known as Zea mays everta.
There are 4 types of corn—dent, flint, popcorn, and sweet—but only popcorn pops.
Popcorn kernels can pop up to 3 feet in the air.
After they pop, popcorn is 30-4- times the size of the original kernel.
Most popcorn comes in two basic shapes when it’s popped: butterfly and mushroom.
Americans eat 14 billion quarts of this popcorn per year. That’s 43 quarts per man, woman, and child. (Amazing, but that’s aggregate data. Some people out there are eating a heck of a lot more popcorn than we do.
The peak period for popcorn sales for home consumption is in the fall.

________________
*Recipe To Make Vanilla Sugar: You need 1 vanilla bean per 2 cups of granulated (table) sugar. Add the sugar to a food processor. Cut the bean in half lengthwise and use a knife to scrape out the seeds. Place the seeds on top of the sugar and save the empty pods (here’s how you can use them). Also, use a spoon or knife to scrape the seeds off the first knife. Pulse until all the seeds are broken up and blended—they’ll look like little dots. Store in a tightly sealed jar.
