Frequently Asked Questions

How do we know for sure that Free Day Popcorn is non-GMO?

We are able to guarantee that all Free Day Popcorn kernels are 100% non-GMO because all popcorn is non-GMO. In fact, genetically modified popcorn doesn’t exist. We are often asked whether or not our popcorn is genetically modified, so that’s why we put it on the label. 

Is Free Day Popcorn gluten free?

Yes! Free Day Popcorn is naturally gluten free. However, it is cleaned in a facility that also processes wheat and soybeans. Popping Ears are picked by hand and do not come into any contact with gluten.

What is the shelf life of Free Day Popcorn?

Store your Free Day Popcorn in an airtight container to retain freshness and pop-ability. Free Day Popcorn can be used indefinitely if it remains at its ideal 13.5% moisture level. However, freshness decreases after approximately 18-24 months.

Is Free Day Popcorn hull-less?

The hull is the outer shell of the popcorn that shatters when popped (those little bits that get can stuck in your teeth). All corn/popcorn has a hull so no popcorn is completely hull-less. 
That said, white popcorn is sometimes referred to as “hull-less” because the hull is thinner and shatters more completely when popped. Mushroom tends to have the most hulls because it is a controlled expansion.  A hole forms in the hull and it splits in half allowing the large mushroom shape to form. 
Because our popcorn is so fresh, the hulls generally shatter more and result in less bits getting stuck in your teeth.

My popping ears aren’t exactly alike, what’s up with that?

Rest assured, the popping ear you are about to enjoy is a survivor, a champion of the prairie. Your popping ears have had a rough life. As baby kernels they were buried 2 inches in the ground and had to fight their way to the surface in the harsh Nebraska climate.  They survived gophers, hail, torrential rain, drought, bugs, deer and sorting.  Only the best ears become Free Day Popping Ears.
