Popcorn pops when the moisture in the kernel heats up. Each kernel requires 13.5 to 14 percent of moisture to pop. On a warm day, one percent of that moisture can evaporate, and that can have an impact on the quality of the pop in a popcorn popper. When three percent vanishes, the kernel can be rendered unpoppable. So to keep popcorn poppable, properly store your popcorn in an airtight container and in a cool cupboard. While any quality container will do, we’ve discovered that a good airtight coffee container works great to keep popcorn fresh.
