Understanding
Types of Popped Kernels
A butterfly kernel will provide fluffy kernels of popped
corn with many tender "wings" protruding from each kernel.
This style of kernel provides tenderness to various
degrees depending on the size of kernel. Based on the
variety of corn, the butterfly popcorn also provides
increased expansion. Caramel and sweet popcorn is raised
for it's characteristic "mushroom" style kernels. More
dense and compact, these ball-shaped kernels do not
have protruding wings that would break off during heavy
handling and coating. The goal with butterfly type popcorn
is to avoid any mushroom style kernels. The goal with
caramel and sweet is to have the highest percentage
of mushroom kernels. |

Understanding
Expansion
MWVT or expansion is a measurement valley-popcorn performed in
a Cretors Metric Weight Volumetric valley-popcorner. This is the
standard for the popcorn industry. MWVT is a measurement
of cubic centimeters of popped corn per gram of unpopped
corn. The higher the MWVT number, the greater the volume
of popped corn per weight of unpopped corn. Weaver Gold
has been developed to provide the highest expansion
rate compared with other commercially available hybrids.
It is exclusively available only through Weaver and,
as with Medium Kernel, offers strong advantages over
the competitive brands. Here is an example. If 100 pounds
of popcorn were popped with MWVT of 45, and 100 pounds
of popcorn were popped at 40, the following would occur:
when placed in a size 2E box, the 40 MWVT would yield
1,788 boxes while the 45 would yield 2,013 boxes. This
would mean that using the higher expansion variety would
generate increased sales and profits of 225 boxes. |

Understanding
Quality
Quality is defined in different ways depending on the
customers needs. Generally speaking, those who want
volume, mainly concession users, look for the highest
expansion to satisfy quality needs. Customers using
flow through poppers who produce large quantities of
popcorn find consistency very important. This consistency
will allow for the highest yields and lowest waste.
Another factor in quality could be the amount of broken
popcorn in the bottom of a bag of popped corn. The larger
kernels tend to hold up better in this case. Those who
pop corn to coat with heavy flavorings or caramel require
popcorn that will resist breakage during the coating
process. Caramel and sweet hybrids with the ball shape
"mushroom" style kernels resist breakage more than other
varieties. For these types of kernels the higher the
percentage of "mushroom" kernels the higher the quality.
Our goal at Weaver is to provide the highest quality
in the industry. As you can see, quality has different
meanings based on customer needs. |
