Popping corn is a special variety of maize that transforms into fluffy, crunchy popcorn when heated. Unlike regular corn, popping corn has a harder outer shell and a dense, starchy interior. When heated, the moisture inside turns to steam, causing the kernel to burst open and create the light, airy popcorn we all love. This popping corn is fully organic which gives it an added bonus.
 
While all corn contains some moisture, not all types can pop. Sweetcorn, for example, has a softer outer shell and is meant to be eaten fresh, while popping corn is specifically grown and dried to have the perfect moisture content for popping. The key difference is in the hull—popping corn has a tough outer layer that traps steam until the pressure forces it to explode.
 
Making popcorn at home is more than just a snack, it's an activity and experience. Watching the kernels jump and burst in a pan adds a little excitement to the kitchen. Children love the anticipation, and there’s something satisfying about hearing the first pop. Plus, you can customise it however you like—classic butter and salt, sweet caramel, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s an easy and fun way to turn snack time into a shared moment.
