Kettle Korn:

What is Kettle Korn?

Kettle korn (or kettle corn) is popcorn popped in a kettle with oil and sugar. After popping, it’s lightly salted, giving it its signature sweet-and-salty balance. Unlike caramel corn, it’s not overly sweet, as only a small amount of sugar is used to achieve its flavour. We do other flavours that pop up at markets as limited runs, so grab them while you can.

Popcorn is the grain itself. Kettle corn, on the other hand, is made by cooking popcorn in oil and sugar inside a kettle, then finishing it with a sprinkle of salt. That’s what gives it its signature sweet-and-salty crunch.

Why is kettle corn so addictive? Sweet and salty flavours trigger your brain’s reward system, the crunch is satisfying, and the caramel aroma keeps you reaching for more. Light and airy, it’s easy to eat handful after handful. We apologise for your new addiction, and are guessing that's why you're here. Follow our Facebook page for regular updates.

The exact origins of kettle corn are unclear. Some say it was introduced into America by Dutch or German immigrants, while others credit early American pioneers. Dates are debated too — some say 1700s, others say 1800s.
