Midnight Blue Popcorn Kernels | Blue Butterfly Popcorn
Dell Cove® Midnight Blue Popcorn Kernels are naturally blue popcorn kernels with a slightly sweet corn flavor and a satisfying crunch.
The deep blue-purple color comes naturally from pigments in the corn — no artificial dyes or colors. When popped, Midnight Blue turns mostly white with a darker gray or blue-toned center. These smaller butterfly-style kernels make a crunchy bowl of popcorn that's perfect for movie night and savory popcorn seasonings.

Popping Guide
Unpopped to popped ratio: 1 oz of kernels makes about 1 quart of popcorn.
For best results, Midnight Blue likes higher heat. We recommend popping it on the stovetop with oil or using a microwave popcorn popper. You can also use an air popper, although you may find that more kernels remain unpopped.
