MiniPop!®

Here at Popcorn Shed we do things a little bit differently. Established in a garden shed in 2016, we’ve never been afraid of a challenge.

Introducing Mini Pop!® The featherweight champion boxer 🥊 of the popcorn world - taking a POP 💥 at its middleweight opponents. Mini Pop!® It’s popcorn, only better!

Made from an ancient grain of corn, these tasty morsels pop into teeny weeny, popsqueak-sized pieces. Half the size of the regular stuff, they still pack a punch! 👊 Smaller means easier to digest and won’t get stuck in your teeth. 👄 No need to thank us, just enjoy!

What is Mini Pop!?

Popcorn Shed’s Mini Pop!® kernels have a significantly thinner hull than most other popcorn brands. This means that nearly all of the hull disintegrates when chewed. Virtually no hulls get stuck in your teeth and the popcorn is much easier to digest.
A cleaner eating experience. And it’s mini!

Japanese hulless popcorn is an older variety of corn grown with pure heirloom, non-hybrid popcorn seeds. The crop produces smaller kernels, about half the size of regular popcorn, known for their distinctive nutty flavour and crunchy texture.

The kernels are smaller than typical corn kernels. Due to their tiny size and fragile nature, these “micro” kernels found in Mini Pop!® rapidly break down during the cooking process, and virtually disintegrate when chewed, improving the eating experience. Customers have commented that the hulls do not get stuck in their teeth and it is easier to digest, being kinder on tummies.

The Science

Popcorn Shed’s Mini Pop!® kernels have a significantly thinner hull than standard popcorn brands. This means nearly all of the hull disintegrates when chewed. Therefore, virtually no hulls get stuck in your teeth and the popcorn is easier to digest.

Aleurone

inner layer

This inner layer is made of soluble fibre. It remains stuck to the popped kernel. It is an excellent source of fibre and won't get stuck in your teeth or cause digestive problems.

Pericarp Hull

Outer layer

This outer layer is made of a non-soluble fibre. It typically hangs off the popped kernel, gets stuck in your teeth and causes digestive problems. Our Mini Pop® kernels have a very thin hull, eliminating these problems.
