That's why it's important to store popcorn correctly. An entire percentage point of moisture can be lost if kernels are left uncovered on a hot day. That may not sound like a lot, but it adds up. A loss of 3 per cent can render popcorn unpoppable. And even a 1 per cent drop in moisture will harm the quality of your kernels. So what's the best way to store popcorn? Airtight containers - plastic or glass - are your best bet to avoid moisture loss, especially when stored in a cool place like a cupboard. Avoid the refrigerator. Some say the cold storage makes the popcorn taste better, but many refrigerators contain little moisture and can dry out kernels. What is popcorn anyway? Where did popcorn come from?
