How it differs from similar foods
Unlike microwave popcorn, kettle corn is popped in a large kettle with oil, sugar, and salt. This method creates a unique caramelized coating and a balance of sweet and salty flavors. It also often has a more rustic appearance compared to the uniform shape of some other popcorn varieties.
