Christy and Coulter, a couple living in Massachusetts, were inspired to create microwave popcorn that both children and adults could enjoy with peace of mind shortly after their son Quinn was born. The product, Quinn Popcorn, was brought to life through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.
They succeeded in removing the coating agents (PFOA, PFCS, polyester, etc.) from the inside of the popping bag, which had been a concern due to the potential for chemical leaching during heating in conventional microwave popcorn products, and creating a safe, 100% paper oil-resistant bag.
Furthermore, using only carefully selected organic popcorn without any genetically modified ingredients, and employing expeller-pressed oil—which retains abundant natural nutrients without the need for hydrogenated oils to reduce trans fat intake—they created a new generation of safe and healthy microwave popcorn.
They also focused on taste, offering five gourmet flavors that will satisfy adults. These include "Parmesan & Rosemary," a delightful harmony of mild saltiness, rich cheese, and refreshing herbs; "Hickory Smoked Cheddar," so popular among staff it's considered a lunch option; "Vermont Maple & Sea Salt," the sole sweet variety; "Butter & Sea Salt," made with real butter, not artificial flavoring; and "Olive Oil & Herbs," the lowest calorie option in the series.
The preparation is, of course, simple. Just microwave until popped, then shake the enclosed oil and natural flavor powder in two stages. You can easily enjoy fresh, delicious gourmet popcorn anytime, without the wait.
