Organic popping corn kernels — the real thing, certified organic and ready to pop in a pan, air popper, or microwave. These certified organic popping corn from Just Natural Organic are simply whole maize kernels selected for their superior popping quality — no additives, no oil pre-applied, no flavouring.
Plain popped corn is a naturally low-calorie, high-fibre snack — around 380 kcal per 100g of kernels but dramatically less per finished portion due to volume expansion. Provides fibre, manganese, magnesium, and polyphenol antioxidants (hull contains more antioxidants than many fruit and vegetables).
Certified organic by the Soil Association. Plastic-free, home-compostable packaging. Available in 500g.
Pop in a pan with a little oil. Use an air popper for oil-free. Microwave in a paper bag. Season with salt, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, cinnamon and sugar, or dark chocolate drizzle. Make caramel corn, popcorn balls, or add to trail mix.
Recipe idea — Dark Chocolate Popcorn: Pop 100g kernels in a pan with 1 tbsp coconut oil. Transfer to a large bowl. Melt 80g dark chocolate (70%+) with 1 tbsp coconut oil. Drizzle over the popcorn, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and toss gently. Spread on a lined tray and refrigerate 15 minutes until set. Break into clusters. A sophisticated, addictive snack that takes 10 minutes to make and is genuinely superior to anything in a packet.

FAQs
Why is organic popcorn better?
Maize is one of the most heavily pesticide-treated crops globally and is overwhelmingly grown as GMO in conventional agriculture. Certified organic popping corn is non-GMO (EU organic standards prohibit GMOs) and grown without synthetic pesticides — a meaningful difference for a food eaten regularly as a snack.
How do I pop corn without a microwave?
Heat a heavy pan with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp coconut or vegetable oil and 3 kernels. When all three pop, the oil is ready. Add a single layer of kernels, cover, and shake the pan constantly until popping slows to 2–3 seconds between pops. Remove from heat immediately.
Is popcorn a whole grain?
Yes — popped corn is a 100% whole grain food. The hull contains particularly high levels of polyphenol antioxidants, giving popcorn a surprisingly high antioxidant content for a snack food.
