Popcorn may have been consumed for 6,700 years ago

American and Peruvian researchers found in the cities of Paredones and Huaca Prieta on the north coast of Peru, ears of corn, about 3,000 to 6,700 years.

The issue is not the long life of cobs found, considering that the first record of maize cultivation, there were more than 7,000 years in Mexico.
Because in South America, it was visible only around 4000 years ago. And that research indicates that corn was consumed well before, and as a kind of popcorn.

The way that the ear was found, is basically one that popped corn in the pot after purchase. In addition to eating in the form of popcorn, corn was also used to make cornmeal.

Then you ask yourself, okay but what does that have too much? Simple at that time had not even pots or other containers as pots for corn could be prepared.

This raises a question regarding the mode of preparation. And remember that if the date is correct, only the corn began to be used as popcorn, some 300 years after its first crop.
