To prepare this popcorn, you can use a standard stovetop method or an air popper. For stovetop, heat a small amount of oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the kernels, cover, and shake the pot occasionally as they begin to pop. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove from heat. For an air popper, follow the manufacturer's instructions. The butter flavor is already infused, so no additional seasoning is typically needed.
How it differs from similar foods
Heirloom hulless popcorn differs from traditional popcorn by having a softer, more tender outer layer that breaks down more easily during popping. This results in fewer hard hulls left in the bowl, offering a smoother eating experience. The heirloom variety also often boasts a richer, more nuanced flavor profile.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining kernels fresh, store them in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Avoid exposure to moisture or direct sunlight, as this can affect the popping quality and flavor. Properly stored, the kernels should maintain their freshness for an extended period.
