Popcorn Test #2

I checked the popcorn for the second time.  I took 6 kernels and used coconut oil.

The results?


 All six kernels of our Dakota Black popcorn popped.  Yum!

I had to make us our first bowl to snack on.

I used the method of rubbing two ears together to remove the kernels.  I works pretty good with a deep bowl.  I did much better at it this time than our first (2 years ago).  I didn't lose too many kernels to the floor.



The cobs are being saved for campfire starters (again).  


It was a perfect day to start removing the popcorn too.  I just took it outside in a fine strainer and the wind winnowed out the fine hair and other particles.

    Very interesting!!! Did you notice a different taste using coconut oil instead of another type?
    I have very dry skin and use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Bath Wash, and every time I shower, it smells like cookies. LOL
    Hope everyone has a great weekend, and a safe one too.
    God bless.

    RB, I like the popcorn with coconut oil. Every kernel pops with it, and it tastes great. It does have a different taste, but it's good.

    Very interesting...I used to have some of that popcorn that a friend grew and gave me.....great flavor in the homegrown varieties. I'll have to try the coconut oil.

    Sam I am, it's about the only thing I use coconut oil for. Aside from frying potatoes. We love it for potato frying (a typical side for a pancake breakfast).
