Have you ever tried lemon in popcorn?
Me neither. I couldn’t imagine what it would taste like. Quinn Popcorn describes their Lemon & Sea Salt popcorn as “understated, clean tasting, but buttery (without using butter!).” I’m sold.
It’s definitely an unique taste, I liked it. It’s not a slap-you-in-the-face butter kind of flavor, it’s much more subtle. And non-greasy. I didn’t use all of the enclosed packet of oil, probably less than a third (I normally eat popcorn plain). It’s nice to be able to control the amount of oil and seasoning.
Quinn microwave popcorn is organic, non-gmo, with no hydrogenated oils, preservatives or chemicals. It’s just a couple bags of corn kernels (even the bags are free of chemicals and impurities, it’s just 100% compostable paper).
A couple packets of expeller pressed grapeseed oil and separate ones for the sea salt and dried lemon. You can read all about their quest to find 100% lemon powder here.
Their other unique flavors include Vermont Maple & Sea Salt and Parmesan & Rosemary. Currently only available around the Boston area where the company is located but coming soon to everyone through Amazon.
Lemon & sea salt popcorn?! That sounds amazing! I’m going to have to figure out a way to make that… I’m loving the maple & sea salt idea too.
We have a fireplace at the new house that we’re currently renovating. Winter lemony popocorn fire sounds like a win-win.
never would i have thought to combine lemon and popcorn, but now i kinda wanna know how it tastes for myself. i’m with Jess, i like the maple ‘n sea salt idea as well. i also love everything about this popcorn – from the non-GMOs to the chemical-free bags. so awesome!
That does sound fantastic! I haven’t seen a popcorn innovation in years, so I’m excited that this brand might shake things up a bit. Hope they get wider distribution, and soon.
Popcorn is one of my main food ingredients so I might experiment with my own lemon & salt version soon.
It will really take a lot though to win out the most perfect combo of olive oil, nooch, and salt. We shall see.
Lemon and salt on popcorn sounds interesting. I would definitely try it if it ever comes to my area.
So cool! I love discovering different ways to “dress” popcorn, and this sounds really good. Too bad it’s not available on Amazon yet – I’m not close enough to Boston – looks like I now have one more food item to stalk :)
