Kernel less popcorn: How air popped corn pops
– Kernel-less popcorn refers to popcorn varieties with less prominent hulls, making it easier to consume without getting stuck in your teeth.
– Hulless popcorn is not completely hull-less, as all popcorn kernels have hulls, but some varieties have thinner hulls that dissolve more easily.
– Varieties marketed as hull-less or kernel-less include Lady Finger, Baby White/Yellow/Blue, Gourmet Red/White, and Autumn Blaze.
– Hull-less popcorn can be found at regular grocery stores and online retailers like Amazon.
– Pre-popped hull-less popcorn options are available from brands like Black Jewell, Gourmet White, and Utz.
– To remove unpopped kernels and hull pieces from regular popcorn, you can use a cooling rack and shake it over a bowl.
– Switching to hull-less popcorn may result in a slightly less tender and airy texture.
– Popcorn salt is recommended for better seasoning distribution on smaller-sized kernels of hull-less popcorn.
– Hull-less popcorn may not be completely “kernel-less,” so always check the label for the type of popcorn.
