To prepare, heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add about a third of a cup of the popcorn kernels to the hot oil and cover the pot. Shake the pot gently and continuously as the kernels begin to pop. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Carefully pour the popped popcorn into a serving bowl. The sea salt is already infused, so no additional seasoning is typically needed.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain popcorn kernels, this variety comes pre-seasoned with sea salt. This saves the step of adding salt after popping, ensuring a more even distribution of flavor. It offers a straightforward salty taste without the need for butter or other toppings, though they can still be added.

Store the remaining unpopped kernels in a cool, dry place in their original packaging or an airtight container. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from becoming stale. Proper storage ensures they will pop well for future use.
