How people cook with it
Popping corn is a simple and satisfying snack. It can be prepared on the stovetop or in a microwave.
- Stovetop popcorn
- Microwave popcorn
- Snack for movie nights
- Party snack
To prepare on the stovetop, heat a tablespoon or two of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add three kernels of corn. Once they pop, add about a third of a cup of kernels in a single layer. Cover the pot and shake gently as the corn pops. Remove from heat when popping slows to a few seconds between pops. For microwave bags, follow the package directions. Season with salt, butter, or your favorite toppings.
How it differs from similar foods
Organic popping corn is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, which is a key difference from conventionally grown varieties. The kernels themselves are generally similar in size and shape, leading to comparable popping performance and texture.

How to keep the rest
Store the unpopped kernels in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from affecting the kernels. This will help maintain their freshness and popping ability over time.
