To prepare, heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add about a third of a cup of the Crimson Jewell kernels to the hot oil, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot and shake it gently and continuously as the kernels begin to pop. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat to avoid burning. Season as desired with salt, butter, or other favorite toppings.
How it differs from similar foods
Crimson Jewell kernels differ from standard yellow or white popcorn primarily in their striking color. While they pop into a similar fluffy texture, the visual appeal of the deep red kernels and the resulting purplish popcorn is their most distinctive characteristic. The flavor is generally comparable to other gourmet popcorn varieties.
