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 to the pot, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot with a lid, leaving it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Shake the pot gently as the kernels begin to pop. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Pour the popped popcorn into a bowl and enjoy.

Compared to microwave popcorn, this product offers more control over the popping process and ingredients. It also differs from pre-popped popcorn by providing a freshly made experience. The sea salt seasoning is a classic flavor profile.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining kernels in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain the freshness and prevent moisture from affecting the kernels, ensuring they pop well for future use.
