The first thing you'll notice is how small the kernels are. The window packaging is ideal for showing off those tiny kernels. When you open the package, the scent is the essence of fresh corn. I have a little movie-style popcorn machine at home and the Tiny But Might Popcorn pops really well in it with very little waste of un-popped kernels. I think the bigger kernels get pushed out too quickly when the corn starts to pop resulting in two to three tablespoons of un-popped kernels. Tiny But Mighty Popcorn will maybe have 5-10 un-popped kernels left. Even so, the kernels are still soft enough to crunch on like a corn nut but smaller. The kernels expand to about 2/3 the size of regular popcorn, but the flavor is just out of this world! You can actually taste the corn in every kernel.
Another variation I tried was I using bacon drippings (a sustainable practice in my household to try to use every part of the animal) instead of oil and just sea salt to taste. The essence of smoky pork flavor and the sea salt brought out more of the natural corn flavor. It's just amazing! read more
