Weis Yellow Popcorn Kernels
What it is
This is a bag of dried yellow corn kernels specifically cultivated for popping. The kernels are small and dense, designed to expand when heated. They are a whole grain and a simple snack food that can be prepared in a variety of ways. This product is a pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
These kernels are the base for a classic movie-time snack. They can be seasoned in many different ways to suit various tastes.
- Popped as a simple snack
- Seasoned with butter and salt
- Coated with sweet glazes
- Mixed into trail mixes
To prepare, heat a tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add about a quarter cup of kernels, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cover the pot tightly and shake it gently as the kernels begin to pop. Once the popping slows to several seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat. Be careful of escaping steam when uncovering. The popped corn can then be seasoned as desired.
How it differs from similar foods
Yellow popcorn kernels are the most common type. They tend to have a slightly chewier texture and a more robust corn flavor compared to white kernels, which often pop larger and have a lighter, more delicate taste.

How to keep the rest
Store the remaining 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, ensuring they pop well for future use.
