Popcorn Info

Popcorn is a special variety of dried corn that pops open and puffs up when heated. This transformation occurs because of a high amount of natural moisture trapped inside the hull, turning the kernel inside-out. Popcorn comes in many styles, from white to yellow to red and blue. From plain to flavored and from oil-popped to air-popped. Unpopped popcorn can be stored at room temperature for about a year but retains its natural moisture, (which means it will produce larger popped kernels) better if stored airtight in the refrigerator or freezer.

Cinnamon Facts

Once used in love potions and to perfume wealthy Romans. This age-old Spice comes in two varieties, Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon. Cinnamon is the inner bark of a tropical evergreen tree. The bark is harvested during the rainy season when it’s more pliable. When dried, it curls into long quills. They are either cut into lengths and sold as cinnamon sticks, or ground into powder.

Cassia Cinnamon

Ceylon cinnamon is buff-colored and mildly sweet in flavor. Cassia cinnamon is a dark, reddish brown color and has a more pungent, slightly bittersweet flavor. Cassia cinnamon is used and sold simply as “cinnamon” in many countries including the US. Cinnamon is widely used in sweet dishes but also makes an intriguing addition to savory dishes such as stews, curries and chili.
