Superior Production Methods |
 |
| Preferred Popcorn LLC, located in the heart of America's fertile, irrigated farmland, produces top quality popcorn utilizing the finest in agricultural technology and some of the best farmers in the country. |
Irrigation provides the moisture
necessary to guarantee the availability of consistent quality
popcorn.
Once harvest is complete, the popcorn is inspected under the most
rigid quality standards. Selected popcorn is then stored in
computerized, temperature and humidity controlled storage bins.
As orders arrive, the popcorn is removed from the storage bins and the second processing phase begins. The kernels are polished and stored by weight and size. Any damaged kernels or foreign material in the product are discarded.
| The kernels are then sent through a Sortex® machine, which completes the "premium" process using the most advanced technology available. This machine views each kernel and determines its quality based on color. The color must be premium quality for the kernel to be placed into a Preferred Popcorn bag. Color is only one of Preferred Popcorn's product requirements. Our popcorn is also sorted according to size, rate of expansion, and even shape. |  |
