Yellow Popcorn

Yellow Popcorn

Popcorn is an all American treat and healthier than other snacks. Our yellow popcorn is a whole grain snack that, when popped, grows into big fluffy and delicious puffs. Some of the earliest accounts of popcorn date 4,000 years ago in Mexican and Peruvian tombs. Native Americans frequently popped corn for a food staple and the Aztecs used it to adorn necklaces.

It’s interesting to note how popcorn “pops”. There is a very small drop of water inside each corn kernel that is surrounded by a hard shell called a hull. When the popcorn is heated, the water turns into steam and builds pressure inside the kernel until it eventually pops into a fluffy, delicious snack.

Our yellow popcorn is larger than ordinary white popcorn and features much larger kernels that look like pearls. The yellow color comes from carotene, also found in carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, and dark leafy greens. Carotene is a source of Vitamin A and antioxidants, both anti-aging and good for you nutrients. Popcorn is a low fat, low-calorie snack that can be either popped in the microwave, an air popper or in oil on the stovetop. Try coconut oil as a healthier option than vegetable oil. Top with melted butter, salt, and pepper and enjoy. Or get creative with your toppings and add your favorite spices and herbs for a sweet or savory treat. Sprinkle with barbeque spice or chile spice for a touch of heat, add cinnamon and sugar for a sweeter treat, or dust with parmesan cheese and parsley flakes for an Italian twist. You can even combine yellow popcorn with your favorite nuts and seeds, dried fruit , or cacao nibs for a satisfying and nutritional anytime snack.
