Air-popped popcorn
As you can see I have problems with cross-cultural diffrences:)
There are no air-popped popcorns in my country. And that's why I have to ask somebody who has seen or eaten them what are they? What does air-popped mean ?
Thank you

I am also from a very different culture, and not so familiar with these PRODUCTS! Air-popped means that the pop corns are made/done by air, in stead of putting them on the cooker, I guess. I know that there are some pop corn packages that are prepared in the microwave.

I think we really need an American to answer this one. Popcorn is simply dried grains of what is called corn in US and maize in GB. When it is heated, the water inside the grain turn to steam, the grain turns inside out and looks fluffy and white. It is often sold as a snack in cinemas, etc.
The usual way of cooking popcorn is to subject it to high heat in a lidded container (otherwise

I do not popcorn at all, but I've prepared this for my husband. However, I don't think that it's the one you are looking for!
