Strawberry Popping Corn

We recently received some strawberry popping corn and decided to give it a go!

1 Ear strawberry popping corn
Olive oil
Salt to taste.
Sauce pan with lid

Remove seeds from the ear of corn into a small bowl. The seeds have a slightly sharp ends, so be careful.

Add enough oil to just cover the bottom of the sauce pan. Set stove to medium heat. Add ONE kernel to pan. Cover and occasionally shake (just to move the seed around the pan a bit).

As soon as the seed pops, add the rest of the kernels (the pan should hold only enough to cover the bottom of the pan...don't add too many/use a bigger pan if you have lots of seeds).

Cover and gently agitate to avoid burning popcorn, keeping the pan on or close to the burner. Once the popping slows, pour into a large bowl and toss with salt to taste!

My boyfriend and I wanted to see the difference between regular popping corn so we popped a handful of normal popping corn, too! Strawberry popping corn is smaller, bright white, and has a darker outer covering comparatively. 

I also found this site, which tells you all about popcorn anatomy! Very helpful.  :-P
