Popcorn, a type of corn that expands from the kernel and puffs up when heated, traces its origins back to thousands of years. It holds a significant cultural importance, especially in America where it's a staple snack for movie goers.

The process of manufacturing popcorn for sale involves drying the harvested corn to the optimal moisture level of about 13.5-14%, followed by cleaning to remove dirt and other foreign materials. Then, it is heated either by air or oil to a temperature of about 400-460 degrees Fahrenheit which causes the water inside the kernel to turn into steam and explode, creating the popcorn we know and love. Factors affecting the quality include the type of corn used, moisture content, and heating process.

There are several types of popcorn available for bulk purchase, each with its own unique characteristics and uses.

• Mushroom Popcorn - Known for its round, ball-like shape and robust structure, ideal for coatings like caramel or cheese.
• Butterfly Popcorn - Identified by its irregular shape with 'wings', it's commonly used for regular snacking and movie theater popcorn due to its light, fluffy texture.
• Colored Popcorn - Offers a range of colors, from blue to red, with slight variations in taste and texture, often used for decorative purposes or specialty gourmet snacks.

Choosing the best popcorn involves careful consideration of various factors.

• Taste: Quality popcorn should have a fresh, slightly sweet corn flavor.
• Grade: Premium grade popcorn often results in larger, fluffier popped kernels.
• Certifications: Look for suppliers with food safety certifications like ISO 22000, HACCP, or FSSC 22000.
• Origin: The place of origin can affect the flavor and quality of popcorn. American popcorn is often regarded as high quality.
• Freshness: Ensure the popcorn is not stale, which can result in tough, chewy popcorn.
