To prepare, you can use a stovetop pot, an air popper, or a microwave popcorn maker. For stovetop, heat a small amount of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add a few kernels to test the temperature; when they pop, add the rest of the kernels in a single layer. Cover the pot and shake it occasionally as the kernels pop. Once popping slows, remove from heat. For air poppers, follow the manufacturer's instructions. For microwave bags, follow the package directions.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pre-packaged microwave popcorn, these kernels allow for customization of oil and seasonings. They are a more natural option compared to pre-flavored varieties. The texture and flavor can be controlled by the user during the popping process.

How to keep the rest
Store the unpopped kernels in a cool, dry place. Keep the bag tightly sealed to prevent moisture from entering. This helps maintain the kernels' freshness and popping ability over time. Avoid storing them in humid environments.
