We grow gluten free, non-gmo popcorn kernels! Always colored by nature; yellow, red, blue, pink and more.
The reason that few farmers grow the colored popcorn kernels is that the yield in the field is significantly less than regular yellow butterfly popcorn. The colored popcorns are our niche, we don't want to compete with the Big Boys with their mass produced popcorn. But we think our yellow Monarch Butterfly is excellent.
MONARCH BUTTERFLY
This is our premium yellow
popcorn variety with an exceptional yellow corn taste and a high
expansion rate, popping big and fluffy and melting in your mouth.
YELLOW BUTTERFLY
(Picture not available at this
time.)
Our yellow is a butterfly popcorn variety with a smaller
kernel. It has a great yellow corn taste with a medium
expansion. It looks like the above Monarch but with smaller
kernels and is quite tender.
PEARLY WHITE
Our white is a smaller
kernel popcorn than the yellow, still with a relatively high
expansion rate, popping up fairly large and fluffy and tender.
It has a mild popcorn flavor.
MIDNIGHT BLUE
Is a medium kernel blue popcorn with an good expansion rate.
After it's popped, the kernel is white with blue hull speckles;
it has a unique flavor.
RUBY RED
Our ruby is a
smaller kernel red popcorn also with an fairly high expansion
rate. The kernel is white with red hull speckles. It has a rich,
nutty flavor.
MIXED BABY RICE
Our baby rice is an
heirloom variety which is HULL-LESS. The kernels are pointy shaped
something like rice and are white, red, and striped red in
color. When popped, it has less volume than other varieties, the
kernel is white and the flavor is light and delicate, the texture is unique.
QUEEN MAUVE
This is a premium hybrid variety which is
one of our favorites. It's color is a dark pink. It has a
moderate pop, and is tender and very tasty! The meat is a
two-toned white to creamy in color.
MUSHROOM FLAKE
This popcorn pops up round; it's used mostly
by people who want to carmelize popcorn. Once popped, it
better holds its shape during stirring or mixing than other types. It has
a stronger corn taste than yellow butterfly popcorn, and is
less tender. Our "Big Balls" variety which is what we have now,
is the biggest and roundest we've ever grown. Not normally for general
eating as it's a tougher kernel, but some people find it their favorite!
JAPANESE HULL-LESS
This is
an open pollinated white popcorn, smaller than yellow, it pops up
fairly large and tender and has a mild popcorn flavor.
STRAWBERRY
Small and tender, relatively hull-less. We grow strawberry only
occasionally as it's very difficult to harvest with our
equipment and has a low yield per acre, thus it's more expensive, but for some it's priceless!
SIZES:
WE HAVE HALF-POUND, ONE
POUND AND TWO POUND BAGS OF POPCORN THAT YOU CAN MIX AND MATCH
AS YOU LIKE. WE ALSO HAVE BULK
QUANTITIES.
OXYGEN BARRIER BAGS:
We package our hybrid and heirloom varieties in oxygen
barrier bags so they stay fresh. At home we pop in an air
popper so nothing interferes with the taste, then add toppings.
So, for the best popcorn make it fresh on the stove or with an electric popper.It's a whole grain snack with nothing but what you put on it. You'll be a people magnet wherever you are for the smell alone!
The popcorn that we pop and eat is the seed of a grain.
Our popcorn is processed in our facility which also may process soybeans.
