What it is
These are whole, unpopped popcorn kernels sourced from a special variety of heirloom corn. They are known for their unique color and texture when popped. The kernels are dried and processed for optimal popping performance, offering a natural and satisfying snack experience. Each kernel contains the potential for a fluffy, delicious treat.
How people cook with it
Popcorn kernels are a versatile pantry staple, perfect for creating a classic snack at home. They can be prepared using various methods to suit your preference.
- Homemade popcorn snacks
- Party favors
- Movie night treat
- Snack preparation
To prepare, you will need a heat source and a pot with a lid or a dedicated popcorn maker. Add a small amount of cooking oil to the pot and heat it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the popcorn kernels, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot and shake it gently as the kernels begin to pop. Continue shaking until the popping slows to several seconds between pops. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
How it differs from similar foods
Native Mix popcorn kernels differ from standard yellow popcorn due to their heirloom varietal origin, often resulting in a slightly different texture and a visually striking appearance when popped. The kernels themselves may also have a distinct shape or color before popping.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Store the unpopped kernels in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will help maintain their moisture content and ensure they pop well. Avoid storing them in humid environments or near heat sources, which can degrade their quality over time.
