Mushroom Popcorn Kernels by Princeton Popcorn - Farmer Direct, Non-GMO, Gluten Free

Farmer Bob is a first-generation farmer, which is quite unique, as it is extremely difficult to enter the agricultural industry due to the substantial capital requirements and experience needed. Ambitious, Farmer Bob set out to prove that it is indeed possible to get into agriculture.

The Princeton Popcorn Company, established by Farmer Bob, offers a range of high-quality mushroom popcorn kernels that are 100% USA-made. From seed to store, Farmer Bob maintains a tight grip on the quality of these kernels. "It all starts in the field," he often says, as he personally plants the seeds, raises the crop, and harvests it. Finally, he conditions and cleans the popcorn, ensuring only the best makes it to the final product.

The Princeton Popcorn Company offers various package sizes, including 8lb, 2lb, 50lb, Six Pack, and 1lb, all of which are non-GMO, with the exception of the 50lb option, which is not resealable. The popcorn is grown by Farmer Bob in Princeton, Kansas, and is gluten-free.

The key to achieving a high-quality pop with a predominantly mushroom shape is to apply as much heat to the kernels as quickly as possible. This heats the moisture inside the kernel, causing a steam explosion that inverts the starches. The popcorn pops best on the stovetop or in a hot air popper, though it can also be popped in the microwave, though the mushroom shape may not be as pronounced.

Farmer Bob can assure customers that the popcorn is 100% grown on his fields in Princeton, Kansas, and is not blended with popcorn from other farms. Additionally, the popcorn is completely free of glyphosate (also known as "RoundUp"), as it is a non-GMO variety that would not survive the application of this herbicide.

Only a specialized variety of popcorn can pop into a mushroom shape, requiring specific genetics, farming techniques, and post-harvest conditioning to achieve the correct moisture percentage. This is a challenging process, and not all popcorn brands can produce this distinctive shape.
