Whilst Crunch Corn is a NEW fresh chapter within the wider Popcorn Kitchen chronicles, in truth it was the inevitable next snacking step, with Louise Monk and her team of ‘corn obsessives’ fully committed to delivering a new direction in fine grain appreciation.
At the heart of Popcorn Kitchen’s success is an unflinching commitment to Mushroom Corn, which offers a well-rounded, superior eat to the more common Butterfly Corn. For Crunch Corn an unapologetic yet satisfying crunch was the non-negotiable, which quickly became a reality once Louise had discovered Peruvian Chocolo Giant Corn.
This latest eureka moment took shape at the Seville Food Fair 2023 (Feria de Abril), a gastronomic centrepiece within Spain’s rich foodie calendar. Here a thorough trawl of the city’s finest bars and foodie establishments led to Louise discovering the sublime crunchy joy of generously seasoned giant corn kernels, roasted to perfection.
Delving a little deeper, Louise realised that the whopping Choclo giant corn that dwarfs its common, sweet corn cousin, not only provides the perfect crunch; it also establishes the perfect setting for simple yet bold flavours to shine. It’s taken a good two years to unearth the right supplier and the perfect flavour profiles, but Crunch Corn is now ready to be the new face of savoury munching joy!
Crunch Corn works on so many levels, a fibre-rich, HFSS-friendly nibble with a compelling big crunch, where honest worldly snacking comes with a homely grazing twist. Essentially, this best of both worlds treat combines the allure of Mediterranean snacking with three familiar yet timeless ‘crispy flavours.’
Available in Sea Salt, Salt Vinegar & Spicy Chilli – 100g sharing bags!
These humble, tasty treats are a welcome alternative to increasingly pricey nuts & seeds. Available in reassuringly transparent pouches, one can be sure that in a world where so many snack packs are padded out with cheap fillers and ‘snack dust,’ Crunch Corn only trades in perfectly proportioned, crunchy kernels. And they are HFSS compliant!
According to Popcorn Kitchen/Crunch Corn founder, Louise Monk, ‘We cooked up Crunch Corn because we wanted to create a more complete savoury treat for those underwhelmed by potato crisps and frustrated by spiralling costs of allergy-risking nuts and seeds. As Corn Obsessives already well-versed in popcorn happiness, we felt now was the perfect moment to share new crunchy joy!’
