Did you buy it like that or have you somehow made it yellow?

That’s popped fresh on me own stove - the oil has annatto in it and the superfine salt is colored with carotene.

Did it come with the oil and salt then?

I have some popcorn salt coloured riboflavin (vitamin B2) and the popcorn definitely tastes better when it’s yellow
Have you tried using ghee? I much prefer it to oil for popping, muchos buttery taste.

Nope, here’s my popcorn kit, minus the actual kernels:

Even the topping has some carotene in it.

No - though I’ve used regular butter, added off the heat, and it does give it a whole new brown butter flavor that isn’t unpleasant at all.

Lovely, super yellow!

I like the ghee cos the kernels are all coated in butter as they pop so it’s not too greasy.
Mind you I’d love to have a pop at it with your Amish Country stuff.

I've got that site bookmarked but as yet to purchase anything. What kernels are you using? I had no idea they had all those!

Right now, I think I have a mix of some red kernels from that Amish place, and some Aldi yellow kernels, and probably some Orville Redenbacher as well.

That Amish stuff is available all over here - farmers’ markets, dry goods/bulk stores, and even Kroger.

Orville or Great Value brands here...

I like butter on my popcorn. Sometimes I add hot sauce and a splash of lemon juice to the butter.
