To prepare, you will need a stovetop pot with a lid, an air popper, or a microwave popcorn maker. For stovetop, heat a small amount of oil in the pot over medium-high heat. Add the kernels, cover, and shake the pot occasionally as they begin to pop. Once popping slows significantly, remove from heat. For air poppers, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Microwave versions are also available for convenience.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pre-packaged microwave popcorn, these kernels offer complete control over ingredients like oil and salt. They also tend to have a fresher taste and a more satisfying crunch. The unpopped kernel form allows for a more traditional and customizable popcorn experience.

How to keep the rest
Store the unpopped kernels in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This helps to preserve their freshness and prevent them from becoming stale. Avoid storing them in humid environments, as this can affect their popping ability over time.
