Harvesting

Organic popcorn kernels are harvested from the maize plant, which is grown in fields during the warmer months of the year. The maize plant reaches maturity in late summer or early autumn, at which point the kernels are ready for harvesting. The kernels are then dried to reduce moisture content and ensure optimal popping when heated.

The composition of organic popcorn kernels consists mainly of carbohydrates, with a small amount of protein and fibre. The natural yellow or white colour of the kernels is a result of the specific variety of maize from which they are harvested. As a natural raw product, organic popcorn kernels contain essential nutrients such as B vitamins, magnesium, and phosphorus. The natural composition of the kernels, combined with their high fibre content, makes them a nutritious and satisfying choice for foodies seeking a wholesome snack option.

The organic nature of Organic Popcorn Kernels means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Popcorn Kernels in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Popcorn Kernels

Organic popcorn kernels date back thousands of years. Originating from the indigenous tribes of North and South America, popcorn was a staple in their diets and used in various ceremonies. The kernels were introduced to European settlers in the 16th century and gained popularity as a delicious and affordable snack. In the 19th century, popcorn became a popular street food in the United States, and its association with entertainment venues solidified its place in popular culture. Today, organic popcorn kernels are cherished for their natural, non-GMO qualities, and their heritage as a beloved, wholesome snack continues to thrive.
