Preparation & Use

Measure the desired amount of kernels and pop in a commercial kettle popper, stovetop pot, or hot-air machine using your preferred oil and seasoning. A standard ratio is one part kernels to two or three parts oil by volume for kettle popping, though hot-air machines require no oil at all. Yellow kernels typically expand 30 to 40 times their original volume, so a half cup of unpopped kernels yields roughly 14 to 16 cups of popped popcorn. Let the popper reach full temperature before adding kernels for the best expansion and fewest unpopped duds. Season immediately after popping while the surface is still slightly moist from steam so salt and flavorings adhere evenly.

Common Applications

These yellow popcorn kernels are suited for traditional buttered popcorn, kettle corn with sugar and salt, cheese-coated popcorn, caramel corn production, and seasoned snack mixes. The sturdy flake structure holds up well under heavy coatings such as caramel and chocolate drizzle, making them a practical choice for gourmet popcorn operations as well as classic concession service.
