- If you had to name one snack from the Midwest, there’s no doubt the answer would be popcorn. States like Illinois and Indiana are among the nine major popcorn producing states in the popcorn belt region. Named the official snack food of Illinois, popcorn is a big deal in the Midwest.
Shops like Garrett’s and Nuts on Clark even have designated storefronts all over the state. We head out to Preferred Popcorn, a collective of farms in Indiana that plants 100 million pounds of popcorn every year. These carefully selected kernels are later made into popcorn at shops like Nuts on Clark. We get an inside look at both the planting and making process of the popular snack.

How Popcorn Is Made | Regional Eats
The farmer is so kind and happy to share knowledge. I know it's an interview, but you can tell he has a great sense of humour and loves what he does.
Yes. He has a passion for what he does.
Over 50 years ago, growing up in rural Kansas, I had an elementary school pal who’s family grew popcorn. When I was invited out to play, we often went to the field, cut off a few ears, went back to his house to shuck and hull - then popped it in butter and oil in a cast iron pot. What a fond memory!
Popcorn does Grow just the colonel's
I thought “how interesting could popcorn be?” These farmers are awesome and clearly are passionate about what they do. Lots of my family in the Midwest were farmers and there guys have their same passion. Awesome to see
Right? It was all fascinating!
Hey why da fk don't you reply???!
@@RBShowman do you flash your organs?
@@coolbreeze9713
Jeez chill.
@@coolbreeze9713 tf your problem
This man has devoted his whole life for this and yet movie theaters still be hella stingy with the butter
I worked in a movie theater. The butter flavoring we used was also the salt. We would sometimes add extra flavor but people would complain it was too salty. That's why we have the fake butter dispensers. Add to your heart's content.
@@gccarnovale they can’t handle the truth!
@@gccarnovale but if you add less salt then it should be less salty doesn't it?
@@OXIR the cinema probs doesnt make the butter flavouring on its own and buys it from another company, so its quite hard for them to control how much salt is in the butter
@@fuhlvee5555 The salt actually comes from an additive they use, called Flavacol. It’s what gives the popcorn it’s yellow/orange color. I bought Flavacol off of Amazon, and it really does make the popcorn movie theaterish..
As a popcorn buyer, I would like to say thank you for those farmers
Honestly, no one asked you. Get back to working the Highway.
@@ohio can I throw popcorn at you like a pigeon?
@@ohio as a popcorn, I would like to say thank you to the popcorn eaters who enjoy us
@@doomjuice.1652 hahaa
Next time you eat popcorn in a movie theater, remember these awesome farmers 🙂
I'll remember they were standing in kernels. I may never eat popcorn ever again.
@@jakestroll6518 🤣🤣 I thought I was the only one put off by that lol
Stfu
If you still have a movie theater
@@jakestroll6518 My advice is never to eat anything from a shop, restaurant, etc if ur worried about boots on corn. I hate to see how you'd survive if you had to live off the land.
There stepping on my corn 🌽 lol 😆
Their workplace be poppin'
I would've giving you a thumbs down. But you were brave to say the joke you have my respect
What’s poppin?
Ba dum tsss
That was pretty punny
Quiet NERD
Popcorn is the coolest snack. As a kid, I still remember being amazed when I first heard that corn popping in the pot, and then soon afterwards, discovered that the pot was filled to the top with all of those delicious, fluffy-white, crunchy clouds. Add a little butter and salt ... snack-time perfection!
always loved popcorn, actually own my own commercial grade popcorn maker so I can make the same stuff theaters do. it's awesome!
I completely agree!
I eat popcorn dipped in coffee.
@@sarahdoanpeace3623 you don't agree
I’ve heard horror stories of people falling into silos and drowning in the corn.
Yeah that used to happen sometimes where I live but it happens less because they give people around 2 minutes of oxygen if they fall in so they have enough time to pull them out
My cousin actually died that way. Farming is dangerous
What are silos?thank you friends
@@yoitsmeaba1 a silo is the big bins they went into, usually holds corn or wheat or hay iirc
@@yoitsmeaba1 think BIG SILVER shooting from the ground towards the sky kind of tubes with a lid on top.
"Popcorn is one of the only situations in which you eat the result of an explosion." Cheers, Domenico.
Brilliant!
Uhhh, agshually all heavy elements were formed in stellar explosions, so all food is formed by explosions.
:p
I grew up in the corn belt and every year we had farm safety day for everyone and we learned never to step down in the silos of corn because it will pull you down
I guess they lied
6:00 I really hope that farmer warned her that entering a bin full of grain is incredibly dangerous. It can be like quick sand and if you go under you will suffocate. We only enter from the top when it needs leveling to fill properly, otherwise that's a big nope.
Let's all appreciate the farmers who do what they do so we don't have to. I love you guys, thank you for keeping us fed :) If they quit, we'd all be screwed.
I love popcorn this is my favorite documentary of popcorn, popcorn, popcorn popcorn I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner
Thank you to the farmers who deliver day in and day out.
I eat popcorn everynight. So please keep growing that perfect!
I got into an hour-long Wikipedia spiral about what popcorn is- and this did a better job of answering my questions. Thank you!
6:29 It sounds so cute when she says I'm trying to unload
Every single person in this video has such joy and energy!
My first job was working at a movie theater and in all that time, somehow, I never ever got sick of the smell of fresh popcorn. Even when it stuck to my clothes after work. It's just such a pleasing smell. Now BURNT popcorn is horrible.
This lady is sooo adorable! 😊 And blessed be farmers all over our planet 🙏🏻
She is so good and friendly and intelligent. The Farmer is a genuine, kind, hardworking American farmer.
We raise a bunch of popcorn in south central Nebraska and it all goes to con Agra in Hamburg, Iowa. It is all Vogel seed in this scenario. More recently we have been raising Orville Resenbacher white popcorn. In the past we have raised some mushroom kernel style for crunch ‘n munch. It is a picky plant compared to regular field corn, it is also very heavy so if you get in it in a bin like they were in the video you will feel extra pressure on your legs compared to normal corn. Also what Con Agra does is they prefer it dry as they can rehydrate it for popping, it’s not something you can dry down traditionally. Also a standard semi load of popcorn hauls somewhere around 400,00+ microwave bags worth popcorn if I remember back to a calculation. Consider that going down the road, that’s $1-$1.50 each at a hotel, it’s a wonder we don’t have armed guards hauling it. However, farmers are paid a premium over traditional corn price so that is all end producer margin. At the Hamburg facility each load brought in is tested for volume like shown, thanks he popped corn is then bagged and taken across the street and given to the elementary school.
Love this video

You are down bad my guy...
DOWN BADD
I was thinking the same thing
Based
Looool
1:14 "Popcorn does not like heat"… That's why I always cook my popcorn at home in the fridge.
I still heat them because I don't give a damn what that stupid popcorn likes or dislikes.
200iq
Such a smart 'ass, you are.!
Wait what ur supposed to heat / freeze them..?
That’s what I thought!
Absolutely fantastic, so much fun watching popcorn being made from start to finish. Thank you. Greetings from Belgium (Europe)🍿🍿🍿
This farmer is awesome!! He is very informative. Awesome guy
Love my popcorn!! Thanks to all who make it available! 🍿😋👏
Smiles, @ Terri Black, How are you? Where are you watching from?

She's adorable
Love this video, Thank You! 🌽
Am glad this video pop into my video suggestions
I can attest *Madison, Wisconsin has some serious popcorn from the theaters to kettle corn to the infamous Chicago Garrett's popcorn.* Real butter NOT margarine makes a world of a difference, too.
Hello Joyce, How are you? Where are you watching from?
Hey! Late reply but I live in Wisconsin too! You’re right about the popcorn
Fascinating information, thanks for creating this! 🍿
Just rec'd my 1st shipment of "Baby White" popcorn, as I was planning supper; had to pop up a small batch.
I was weaned on popcorn, in MN-since 1939. Sunday supper was popcorn, in a screen shaker-popcorn, made
over the gas flame, melted butter & salt-big glasses of cold, fresh milk, and...........a spoon. Grab a handful, put
it in the milk; SUPPER for the family. I've eaten it almost daily for over 75 years (I'm 81). Amish Popcorn is
fine stuff! I pop & eat small servings daily, keep a sealed bowl for whenever, thru the day. Took my popper on
backpacks, too. Theater popcorn? No!. Only butter & salt, please. I have a fine air popper now, pop corn dry,
don't mess it up! Add only butter & salt. Put it, popped, into cold milk, spoon it up! You will see. BTW: microwave
popcorn-chemicals, some popcorn? Don't do it!
In the midwest we have a thing called rural king. And they have a free self serve popcorn machine up front at every one of em
06:35 her laugh is so adorable
Love the sound of popping popcorn 🥰
i just made popcorn from this brand this afternoon! it's really good
Brilliant video! Subscribed for more of these!
Yum! My favorite snack. No butter, just a little salt.
Wrong. Butter. Lots of 🧈 lol.
remember when you next eat popcorn, someone might have stood in it
Remember the next time you think this also think that most bacteria dies at 165 degrees and 215 at most and all popcorn is popped at 350 or above sooooooooooo

The machine at 03:25 is a silage chopper, not a combine. Completely different operation.
Went and got me some Garrett's right after watching this. Been a while since I been to Nuts on Clark too. Chicago got the best!
I just Garrett’s myself while in was Chicago earlier this week!
the Mariano's Chicago mix is actually pretty damn good too but I love Garrett's
@@naurrr I'll have to try the Mariano's one!
I want Garrett’s smmm
Loved it!!
Grew my own popcorn last year. So awesome
In your house?
Appreciate this video
This is so interesting thank you
I'm eating popcorn right now lol It's so good
3:24 I didn’t know a forage harvester could collect the corn I thought they all shred it into chaff but this one must be special
And he can get wet corns in to dry corns i litarly want a harvester like this.
The video before looks like sweet corn being harvested as the corn tassels look fresh and the stalks are green.
3:21 I didn't see how it automatically strips it all off the cob as it comes off the plant. Wonder is it works like a chicken plucker or something.
Is it harvested only after the corn is dried out in the field? Or is it different entirely from fresh corn in the supermarkets, with the kernels soft and juicy? Otherwise it would seem it's going to get corn mash rather than kernels.
You know that scene from sam and cat, when Sam makes a honey covered wad of popcorn? I WANT THAT
I'm in awe with all these machinery that make it possible to only have several farmers to manage everything
Wholesome content.
It's like a military operation on a scale.👍👍
Nah I was in the military and this is way more precise
Then will you call him the "kernal"?
@@akashj8204 🤣🤣🤣
Your right
Still my favourite snack of all time. I always hoard them since i eat alot
Happy to hear that the test popcorn isn't going to waste. Hope those chickens have a nice movie to watch while they eat their popcorn, lol.
lol! I don't think that animal feed corn can pop into pop-corn! XD
Watching this and eating tin corn 🌽 😋
Popcorn Are Yummy! It Was Defiently My Favorite Snack Alongside Pringles Chips!
It’s Amazing 🤩
That's a fun time snack!
Now I'm craving for some popcorn
I like to swim on that popcorn storage
This makes me hungry

They definitely saved the best til last - that popcorn slo mo 💯👏
7:50 just goes to show, when people complain about “quality control” it’s simply impossible to go through ALL that product to make sure it’s perfect
Hats but no gloves.
@@pphedup What? Pretty sure there is no germ that can survive 400 degrees in a cooker. It's not the germs they are checking for, it's stuff like small rocks that are the same size and weight as corn. I get them from time to time. But they are easy to see when you pour it into the cooker. I've been doing it professionally for five years, and caught three small rocks. Their quality control is good.
@@fishon8406 You relieve my mind.
I ate caramel popcorn while seeing THE BATMAN last weekend to replace the ecclesiastical livestream. 'Twas my first time in a long time to eat it! So delicious!
I like how complicated these things are, now I missed Garrett's Popcorn.
Eating popcorn while watching!
I love popcorn. It is my favorite snack

Exactly, thats what I thought through out the video. Such a sweet precious voice and her little giggle... I kept replaying it when she was unloading the popcorn from her boots. Precious host
Cool! That’s a LOT of popcorn!
Popcorn is one of the healthiest snacks earth made for us
Yup until people bury it in butter😔
@@damaribrackett1159 yeah bro why they add cheese, butter and caramel to make it unhealthy
@@myattdyaimon3635 because it’s literally flavorless without
@@fankdaggot8961 yeah but i use salt pepper and some spices to enhance the taste. Adding cheese and butter is very unhealthy. You can eat a whole bag of ordinary popcorn everyday and still stay healthy because its very less in calories than eating any other snacks
Yaa,not really, especially if diabetic or have digestive issues,bad for your colon...sorry
6:07 No I would not want to imagine that for you
I’m watching this while eating popcorn
Yummy pop corn
Wow I love pop corn
Very Interesting
I watch this at home cinema while eating popcorn
man, i wish to be a popcorn farmer and seller. its really interesting
She’s so adorable
Paused video, went to Nuts on Clark and ordered popcorn, pressed play and continued...
I love Popcorn with Butter and Salt.
Nuts on Clark has some of the best tasting popcorn. It’s very addicting
Popcorn 😍😍😍😍, I love popcorn and they don't make fat, and when I saw the popcorn it reminded me of a video about, Hana and Kotaro - little Asian dwarf otters that have a hilarious reaction when a popcorn maker throws out popcorn..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yummy, yummy yummy, yummy
Love popcorn and all the different varieties they have now, but I don't eat much any more. Actually use to make kettle corn in a big copper pot. But my back side says no anymore. To bad. I luv popcorn.
Medha is the cutest thing ever 😍
