To prepare, you can use a stovetop pot, an air popper, or a microwave popcorn maker. For stovetop, heat a small amount of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add a few kernels to test the heat; once they pop, add the rest of the kernels in a single layer. Cover the pot and shake occasionally as the kernels pop. Once popping slows significantly, remove from heat to avoid burning. For air poppers, follow the manufacturer's instructions. For microwave makers, follow their specific directions for best results.
How it differs from similar foods
Tender white popcorn differs from yellow varieties in its kernel size and the resulting texture. White kernels tend to pop into lighter, fluffier pieces with a more delicate crunch. Yellow popcorn often yields larger, chewier pieces and can have a slightly richer flavor.

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining kernels in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. An airtight container or the original packaging, sealed tightly, will help maintain freshness and prevent the kernels from becoming stale or absorbing odors.
