Organic Popcorn Kernels
What it is
This is a bag of whole, unpopped popcorn kernels. They are certified organic, meaning they were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The kernels are dried and packaged for home popping. They are a simple, whole-grain snack that can be prepared in a variety of ways. The natural starch in the kernel expands when heated, causing it to pop open and reveal the fluffy white interior.

To prepare, you can use a stovetop pot, an air popper, or a microwave popcorn bag. For stovetop, heat a few tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add a layer of kernels, cover, and shake the pot occasionally as the kernels heat up and begin to pop. Once popping slows, remove from heat. For air poppers, follow the manufacturer's instructions. For microwave bags, follow the directions on the packaging.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pre-packaged microwave popcorn, these kernels offer more control over ingredients and preparation. You can choose your own oil and seasonings, avoiding artificial flavors or excessive salt often found in commercial varieties. This allows for a fresher, more customizable taste experience.
Who it is for
Anyone who enjoys a simple, customizable snack can prepare this popcorn.
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 getting in, which can affect popping performance. Properly stored, they can last for a long time.
