Three Gourmet Kernel Varieties
The set includes Premium White Gold, Crunchy Ruby Red and Red, White & Blue Tri-Color popping corn. The variety is the point: each can be popped separately and compared, which makes an evening of it rather than just a bowl. White corn tends to pop into smaller, tender flakes, while the coloured varieties get their colour from the outer hull, so once popped they look mostly white with flecks of red or blue. That surprises people who expected coloured popcorn, but it is how coloured kernels behave. The kernels suit a heavy pan with a lid and a little oil, an air popper or a popcorn machine. Keep each variety in its own container once opened, sealed tightly, because popcorn kernels need a little moisture inside to pop well and pop less completely if they dry out. The downside is quantity: the jars are small, so each variety covers a few bowls rather than weeks of snacking.
