What it is

The whole grain aspect means that the entire kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm, is intact. This variety offers a unique visual appeal when popped, presenting a beautiful deep purple hue that can be quite striking.

To prepare, you can use a stovetop pot, an air popper, or a microwave popcorn maker. For stovetop, heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add about a third of a cup of kernels, cover, and shake the pot occasionally as the kernels begin to pop. Once popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove from heat. For air poppers, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Season as desired once popped.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike standard yellow or white popcorn, these kernels pop into a distinct purple color. The flavor profile is generally similar to other popcorn varieties, but the visual difference makes it a fun alternative for those seeking something a bit more unusual. The whole grain composition is consistent across most popcorn types.

How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer any unused kernels to an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Proper storage will keep the kernels ready for popping.
