 Englewood, New Jersey, September 2011— The folks at Popcorn, Indiana, a group we first wrote about in February of last year, are serious, (they say fanatical) about whole grain snacking.
They tell us their mission is to make the best tasting better-for-you snacks on the planet. They have their own facility, filled with honest-to-goodness corn specifically grown for popping. They also have special kettles that are filled, by hand, one scoop at a time, by real people, who are carefully producing what they tell us is the greatest popcorn you will ever eat. www.popcornindiana.com |
