Popcorn: Made Your Way

With so many cooking and seasoning options, popcorn is bound to be one of the most versatile snacks around.

Choose Your Kernel

Yellow corn is the most commonly used and the least expensive of all .kernels. White is also popular due to its fluffiness after popping and mild sweetness. Red corn has kind of a nutty flavor, and although blue corn pops white, it also has a somewhat unique taste.

Cook It Your Way

Popcorn oil can be found practically anywhere: from the supermarket to online. While it was once thought to be mandatory for cooking, the truth is that any type of oil that can withstand high heat temperatures may be used. Coconut and corn oils are often the most popular, as they heat up fast, burn slow, and flavor nicely. While virgin olive oils taste delicious, they can burn under high heat temperatures. Sunflower, safflower and canola oils are becoming the common choice for many low-fat cooking needs.

Season to Taste

For a long time, butter and salt held as the sole conventions for flavoring. If someone wanted to satisfy a sweet tooth, they would make a special trip to buy caramel or kettle corn from the mall or local farmer's market. However, salts, powders, and glazes are easy to find now and you can choose between a vast range, including garlic salt, Cajun seasoning, chipotle flavor, cinnamon sugar, jalapeno or hot sauce are becoming some of the trendy alternatives to butter and salt.
