Hull-less Popcorn: Myth or Fact?

It's time to set the record straight. There really is no such thing as hull-less popcorn. The hull of the kernel is the seed, so naturally, all popcorn has a hull!  Also, popcorn is held together by the hull. A kernel becomes the fluffy popcorn we know and love by exploding hence "pop"corn and turning inside out.  The dark piece of popcorn, deep inside the popcorn, is the hull!

The leading complaint of popcorn consumers is the kernel gets stuck in their teeth. So, the next logical step is to get hull-less popcorn.In  reality, hull-less popcorn is just popcorn made from a smaller kernel that still contains a hull. The hull of the kernel is the seed, and popcorn cannot exist without a seed. However, smaller hulled popcorn, when popped, is smaller, tenderer and less noticeable.  When it pops, the hull breaks up into smaller pieces and does not get noticed in your teeth. 

The next time you want a healthy snack, don't be so quick to pass up the popcorn. Add it to your daily fruits and vegetables, and you will have yourself a snack packed full of disease-fighting antioxidants! 

Want to POP your own? We have a wide variety of kernels available. As well as delicious popcorn salt!

Happy snacking,

Mr. Poppington
