Frequently Asked Questions

Product Information

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.

What is the shelf life of Free Day Popcorn?

Store your Free Day Popcorn in an airtight container to retain freshness and pop-ability. Our popcorn can be used indefinitely if it remains at its ideal 13.5% moisture level, though freshness is best within 18–24 months.

How should I store popcorn?

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container or sealed bag. Avoid refrigerators or freezers—they can dry the popcorn out and reduce popping performance.

Can I microwave Free Day Popcorn?

Our popcorn is perfect for stovetop popping, air poppers, and commercial poppers. While it can be microwaved using a microwave-safe popcorn bowl or paper bag, we do not sell pre-packaged microwave popcorn.

Is Free Day Popcorn hull-less?

All popcorn has a hull—the outer shell that shatters when popped. No popcorn is completely hull-less, but white popcorn has a thinner hull that shatters more fully, often referred to as “hull-less.” Mushroom popcorn tends to have the most hulls due to its large, round shape.

Because our popcorn is so fresh, hulls typically shatter more and result in fewer pieces getting stuck in your teeth.

Dietary & Allergen Information

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.

Is Free Day Popcorn kosher?

Yes, our popcorn kernels and ears are certified kosher by Star-K, one of the most trusted and recognized kosher certification agencies. Our products meet strict kosher guidelines for sourcing, processing, and handling.

Popping Ears

My popping ears aren’t exactly alike—why?

Each popping ear is a survivor of the Nebraska prairie! They endure gophers, hail, drought, bugs, deer, and sorting. Minor variations are natural and part of the charm.
