Butterfly popcorn is the common popcorn variety found in pre-packs in supermarkets. It’s used in the manufacture of microwave popcorn, savoury ready-to-eat popcorn and movie theatre popcorn. The “butterfly” popcorn kernel is usually large, light, and fluffy. It looks like it has wings, much like a butterfly. It’s tenderness depends on the size of the kernel.

Butterfly popcorn, also known as “hulless” or “butterfly-wing” popcorn, is a unique variety of popcorn characterized by its irregularly shaped kernels that resemble butterfly wings when popped. This type of popcorn typically produces kernels that are larger and fluffier than traditional round-shaped popcorn varieties.

The name “butterfly popcorn” is derived from the distinctive shape of the popped kernels, which feature protruding “wings” that give them a light and airy texture. These kernels are often prized for their tenderness and ability to hold toppings such as butter, salt, or seasonings, making them a popular choice for gourmet popcorn snacks.

One of the key factors that contribute to the unique shape of the kernels is the specific type of corn used in its cultivation. Unlike traditional popcorn varieties, which have a harder outer hull, butterfly popcorn is grown from a specific type of maize that produces kernels with thinner hulls. This thinner hull allows the kernel to expand more fully when heated, resulting in the characteristic butterfly shape when popped.

It is commonly used for both commercial and home popcorn production due to its appealing appearance, tender texture, and excellent popping characteristics. It is often found in movie theaters, gourmet popcorn shops, and packaged popcorn products.
