Gourmet Quality: Great Taste Begins Here.
Quality Of Seeds

Gourmet popcorn is grown under the most optimal conditions available in the world.  In fact, popcorn has a history in the Americas that dates thousands of years prior to the advent of the microwave.  While the microwave is conveniently beneficial in food preparation time, we believe its use has skewed modern appreciation for popcorn's natural consistency and taste.

Naturally produced popcorn isn't as light as Styrofoam.  Nor does it have the chew of puffed rice.  It is naturally chewy (when oil-popped), with medium-bodied consistency, is flavorfully tasty, and is by National Cancer Institute standards "roughage", designed to aid digestion.

Our seeds enjoy the lavish attention, usually devoted to the most premium quality wine producing grapes, in a unique part of the world which boasts a dry climate, combined with warm sunny days and cool nights. These conditions, along with a 100% irrigation process, are superb for the production of our high quality popcorn varieties.

Each seed is carefully inspected for density, size, and color to insure consistency in quality each year. The freshness continues in the manner by which packaging and storage is performed with moderate temperatures of less than 70 degrees. One might think of our process as a relaxing day spa for seeds to provide  flavor that shows up in every package of Atlanta Gourmet Popcorn we serve.

                                                     

Size Does Matter

Size matters along with taste. We offer larger volume with better flavor for a better culinary experience.  There are two basic varieties of popcorn:  Mushroom and Butterfly. This describes the look of the popcorn when popped.  While many retailers sell inferior butterfly variety brands, our brand (butterfly and mushroom) yields a larger pop volumetric (yield) up to 46:1. This means that the ultimate popped kernel is up to 46 times the size of the original seed.

Our popcorn has a heartier chew than microwave popcorn, because of our natural processes.  This is especially so with the mushroom variety used for our coated flavors like Caramel, Chocolate, Cheese, and Cajun.

Atlanta Gourmet Popcorn is produced naturally in much the same fashion used by Mayans, Aztecs, and others native to the Americas.  We are proud to provide you gourmet popcorn-- the way it is grown to taste!
