NATIONAL
DAY
POPCORN
LOVERS
march 10
In the heart of Winter Garden, many folks love to stop into Ms.
Bee’s Gourmet Popcorn and Candy Shop to get one of nearly fifty
amazing flavors available. Ms. Bee’s uses only the best popping
corn on the market and The Beekeeper pops it daily on the
premises to ensure the freshest taste. Ms. Bee’s uses only real
cheeses for their Spicy and Savory popcorn flavors that adorn the
menu and the caramel popcorn is made in the store from scratch.
National Popcorn Lovers Day is intended to enjoy popcorn
and share it with others. Stop into Ms. Bee’s and take some
to work or on the way home to share with friends and family.
Curl up on the couch and enjoy a movie with this favorite treat!
Have a special place in your heart (and tummy) for popcorn?
Well, the second Thursday every March (March 10, this
year), there’s an entire day set aside to celebrate the tasty
treat! Back in 2012, a gentleman (and avid popcorn fanatic)
from Rochester, New York, helped create this national
holiday rejoicing in the goodness of all things popped corn.
Popcorn is a type of corn that expands from the kernel and puffs
up when heated. There are many techniques for popping corn.
Commercial large-scale popcorn machines were invented by Charles
Cretors in the late 19th century. Many types of small-scale home
methods for popping corn also exist, along with prepackaged popcorn.
Depending on how it is prepared and cooked, some consider it
to be a health food while others caution against it for a variety
of reasons. Air-popped popcorn is naturally high in dietary
fiber, low in calories and fat, and free of sugar and sodium.
This can make it an attractive snack to people with dietary
restrictions on the intake of calories, fat, and/or sodium. ‘
This snack is usually served salted or sweetened. Here in America,
it is traditionally served salted, often with butter or a butter-like
topping. However, sweetened versions, such as caramel corn and
kettle corn, are also commonly available. Some other popular
flavors are cheddar cheese, parmesan garlic, and even hot pepper!
