If you look carefully at the popcorn in this picture you'll notice that it looks more like little popcorn colored marbles. There are no "ears" or flaps to be knocked off when the popcorn is stirred or shaken. What could you do with popcorn that tastes exactly like your favorite popcorn but is less prone to break into pieces? Right! Kettle corn, candied corn, caramel corn, etc.!!
The wonderful people at ConAgra, the huge agricultural company that does so much research on improving crops has come up with a popcorn you can work with. Our piano tuner, of all people, had seen from the popper on our stove that we were popcorn loving people and had suggested we look into "Mushroom" popcorn - so called because the popped kernel looks a lot like a mushroom head. Others call it "brain" or "cerebral" popcorn for the same reason - similarity in looks.
A search of the Internet indicated that you can buy smaller packages of popcorn than the 50 pound bag we bought but the mark-up was significant. So I braved the rainstorm to buy the large bag and split it into smaller containers. Fortunately, we had several 8 pound plastic bottles that were just what I needed.

One curious note was the use restriction that I had never seen before. The label at the left was printed twice on the bag. It made it quite clear that we can't repackage the stuff and call it a different name. That makes some sense. But to prohibit research?!?

Prohibiting research probably means they want to keep all patents in house and not let any get started from their initial product. Wonder how this might apply to science fair projects at schools??
ReplyDeletewhere did you buy the 50lb bag and how much per lb?
ReplyDeleteWe bought ours form West Coast Consessions (http://shop.westcoastconcessions.com/product.sc?categoryId=16&productId=66) for $32 per 50 lb bag. They operate out of Sacramento so we had no shipping charge. We just scheduled a pickup about 8 miles from here. But their website says they ship almost everywhere.

We ship anywhere from 1 50 lb bag to truckloads- and we carry over 5,000 other ingredients, including the popcorn basics of oil, sugar, cheese and salt.
Happy Popping- Carrie
How much per 50lb bags and shipping. Do you charge additional fees for small business ordering from Congratulating?
