Popcorn comes from a variety of maize that produces small kernels with a hard outer shell. These kernels can’t be chewed without a good chance os cracking a tooth. To get to the fluffy part, you must heat the kernel, which turns the moisture within into steam. When the outer shell reaches its pressure point in bursts and releases the soft inner flake, creating popcorn. Our popcorn is a beautiful indigo blue before popping, and a bright white when popped. Heirloom grains, with their rich history and genetic diversity, hold vital significance. These traditional crops safeguard our agricultural heritage, foster resilience in the face of climate change, and promote sustainable farming practices. Preserving heirloom grains ensures food security, nutritional diversity, and the conservation of cultural traditions for future generations.
