How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain its crispness, store any remaining popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing it to moisture or direct sunlight, which can cause it to become stale or lose its texture. Seal the bag or transfer to a suitable container promptly after opening.
