What it is
These are whole, unpopped popcorn kernels with a distinctive deep black color. They are a type of corn specifically cultivated for popping. The kernels are small and dense, and when heated, they expand to create a fluffy, edible snack. This variety is known for its unique visual appeal and a satisfying crunch.
How people cook with it
Popcorn kernels are a versatile pantry staple, perfect for creating a classic movie-time treat or a simple, wholesome snack.

- Creative toppings
To prepare, heat a tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add about a third of a cup of kernels, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot and shake it gently as the kernels begin to pop. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Be careful of steam when removing the lid. You can then season your freshly popped popcorn with salt, butter, or your favorite spices.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike yellow or white popcorn, these kernels have a striking black hue before and after popping. This visual difference makes them stand out. The popping characteristics and texture are generally similar to other popcorn varieties, offering a consistent and enjoyable eating experience.

How to keep the rest
Store the unpopped kernels in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. An airtight container is ideal to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Properly stored, they will remain viable for popping for an extended period.
