Jolly Time Simply Popped Popcorn Kernels
What it is
This is a bag of unpopped popcorn kernels. It is a whole grain snack that is made from dried corn. The kernels are small and hard before they are heated. When heated, they expand and turn into fluffy popcorn. This product is designed to be popped at home on the stovetop or in an air popper. It contains only the corn kernels themselves, with no added butter, salt, or oil.
How people cook with it
Popcorn kernels are a versatile ingredient for homemade snacks. They are best enjoyed warm and fresh from the popper.

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 popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Pour the popcorn into a bowl and add your desired seasonings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike microwave popcorn bags, these kernels offer complete control over ingredients. You can choose your own oil and seasonings, avoiding artificial flavors or excessive sodium often found in pre-packaged options. This allows for a more natural and customizable popcorn experience.
Who it is for
Home cooks who enjoy making their own snacks from scratch will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Store the unpopped kernels in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard. Keep the bag tightly sealed to prevent moisture from entering, which can affect popping performance. Avoid storing near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
