Everything about Kettle Corn totally explained
Kettle corn is a sweet-and-salty variety of
popcorn that adds granulated
sugar,
salt, and
oil.
In the
1700s, kettle corn was introduced to
colonial palates in the
United States. It is referenced in the diaries of Dutch Settlers in Pennsylvania circa 1776. It was a special treat often consumed at fairs or other festive occasions. The corn is popped in iron kettles and then sweetened with
sugar,
honey, and sometimes
molasses before adding salt. The combination was widely popular in the early
1800s but fell from wide usage during the
1900s. In the early
2000s, it has made something of a comeback in America, and as of
2006, it's cooked and sold at fairs and flea markets throughout the United States, especially art and craft shows. The
microwave version is sold at
grocery stores under
Orville Redenbacher's,
Act II,
Pop Secret, and other brands.
Its flavor isn't overwhelmingly sweet like that of
caramel corn. The contrast between kettle corn's subtle sweetness and its salt flavoring has endeared it to many. Additionally, nutritionists point out that it has less fat and sodium than most flavored popcorns, a desirable feature for people on low-calorie or low-sodium diets.
