Popcorn is being rediscovered as a healthy food, rich in antioxidants and dietary fiber, in both America and the UK. Zaramamas, whose name means "God of Corn" in the Inca language, offers a luxurious popcorn experience with unique colors and natural flavors, true to its name.
Since its debut in the UK in 2007, Zaramamas quickly became a sensation. The "Pop-a-Cob," now released in Japan, is popular for its convenience – ready in about three minutes in the microwave – and its additive-free, natural taste, prepared without oil.
The "Pop-a-Cob" comes in four distinct corn varieties: "Baby White," "Rich Ruby Red," "Midnight Blue," and "Golden Butter." Unlike most other popcorns, which often use corn stored for years in silos, Zaramamas uses freshly harvested, non-GMO corn from Canada. This allows for distinct tastes and textures even without seasonings.
While delicious on their own, the unseasoned kernels are a blank canvas for culinary creativity. Drizzle with caramel syrup or chocolate for a treat the kids will love. Or, pair with herbs and extra virgin olive oil, or sprinkle with truffle salt and Parmesan cheese to transform them into sophisticated appetizers perfect for an evening drink or a home party.
The elegant packaging and the vibrant, unique colors make them an ideal gift or a thoughtful treat for someone special. With such versatile possibilities for customization, why not create your own signature flavor?
