How did popcorn come from?

Popcorn was invented in the Song Dynasty, and Fan Chengda recorded in "The Custom of Wu Jun": "Shang Yuan, ... exploded glutinous rice in a pan, named Bulou, also known as Mihua. Everyone blew themselves up to rest for a year. " On the occasion of the Spring Festival, Song people used popcorn to predict the good or bad of the year, and girls used it to ask their lifelong events. Song people added diet to culture, which enriched its connotation.

Popcorn is crisp and easy to digest, and can be used as a delicious snack every day. The invention of popcorn embodies the richness of China's diet, and its deeper significance lies in that the appearance of popcorn creates a new food processing method, that is, the birth of puffed food.
