FAQs

When it comes to storing popcorn, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it's important to make sure that the popcorn is completely cooled before storing it. Otherwise, the heat can cause the flavors to seep out of the kernels and change the taste of the popcorn. Second, it's best to store popcorn in an airtight container. This will help to keep the popcorn fresh and prevent it from absorbing any unwanted odors or flavors. Finally, it's important to store popcorn in a cool, dry place. This will help to prevent the kernels from getting stale or rancid.

Most people agree that popcorn is best when it's fresh. That means that if you want to make sure your popcorn is nice and crispy, you'll need to store it properly. To ensure that your popcorn retains its nutritional value, it is important to store it in an airtight container at room temperature. Additionally, do not refrigerate or microwave any of our popcorn products to maintain their freshness.

While reheating popcorn is technically possible, it's not going to give you the same delicious results as starting with a new bag. The problem is that popcorn kernels are designed to hold onto moisture. When they're heated, that moisture turns to steam and gives the kernels their signature crunch. But once those kernels have cooled, that moisture starts to escape. As a result, reheated popcorn is often soggy and lacking in flavor.

Fun Facts

The magic is inside the popcorn kernel…

Popcorn is made from a type of corn that is specially bred to have a hard outer shell. When this corn is heated, the water inside the kernel turns to steam and causes the shell to burst open. The kernels then expand and become fluffy, making them perfect for eating.

Flint corn is another variety of corn that is similar to popcorn in terms of appearance, but it does not pop when heated.

Popcorn is a popular snack food that can be flavored in many different ways. It can be simply seasoned with salt or butter, or it can be coated with sugar or chocolate.

Historical poppers about popcorn

While the exact origins of popcorn are unknown, it is believed to have first appeared in the Americas in the 18th century. At that time, Americans cooked popcorn over an open fire, using a wire box with a long wooden handle.

One popular method involved throwing kernels in hot ashes and then sifting out the popped corn. Others tried cooking corn in kettles filled with fat or lard.

The most widely used method was cooking corn in a metal pot with a perforated lid.

During the Great Depression, street vendors would push their popcorn carts around town, following the crowds to wherever they went.

Back then, popcorn was usually sold in bags for 5 to 10 cents each. This meant that it was affordable for even the poorest families-a tradition that continues to this day.

In 1945, Perry Spencer discovered that popcorn would pop when placed near a microwave. While working on radar equipment at the time, Spencer noticed that the microwaves caused the kernels to explode. Today, microwave popcorn is a popular snack food that can be enjoyed in just minutes thanks to Spencer's discovery.
