In the 1700s , kettle corn was introduced to Colonial palates in the United States . The corn was 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 2005 , it can be purchased at fairs and flea markets throughout the United States, as well as at Grocery Stores under the Orville Redenbacher , Act II , and other brand names. Its flavor is not overwhelmingly sweet such as that found in Caramel Corn or Cotton Candy . The contrast between kettle corn's subtle sweetness combined with its salt flavoring has endeared it to many. Additionally, nutritionists point out that it has less fat and less sodium than most popcorn flavorings. |
