Traditional popcorn in Indonesia is referred to as "brondong jagung.", there is some mass production of brondong, but the products are not too popular these days.
Popcorn, which in the west is consumed while watching movies, is only available in malls. There are only a few sellers who open their stalls on the side of the streets.
What kind of corn do Indonesian people consume? We eat more sweet corn.
Sweet corn is young corn that is ready to be harvested. To consume the corn, it is simple. People boil , grill, or cook the corn in a soup. You can find sweet corn in tamarind soup.
Most Indonesian farmers also plant sweet corn. Dried corn is sold to big buyers. The young and sweet corn are already harvested and brought to the vegetable markets. In the new year, the demand for sweet corn will increase because there will be more people consuming grilled corn on the New Year's Eve.
Eating grilled sweet corn together with friends while turning on the fire camp is something fun to do on New Year's Eve.
Dried corn may be processed into some flour or additional material to make food for farm animals.
