Popcorn: Answered Questions
Where is the origin?
Local farms with sustainable businesses are carefully selected to provide high-quality food-grade crops. The newly harvested crop is best suited to mushroom farming. Made with quality ingredients, including corn, and harvested in a natural environment with skies full of sunshine and fresh air for lasting kernels.
How long can it be stored?
Grain typically lasts for a long time when stored in a cool, dry space. However, the recommended shelf life expires within one month. Ziplock the bag and add a moisture absorber to prolong the life; airtight containers and double-sealed vacuum bags keep the grain tight and last up to 6 months in storage.
Does it contain chemicals?
There are no chemicals because it’s organic and grown for the mycelium forming spawn phase. The environmentally friendly corn ensures optimal colonization time because it’s free of chemicals and treatment. It allows for bigger growth, better yields, and better quality mushroom.
How is it used for grain spawn?
Wash the popcorn 3 three times or until the water runs clear from the bowl. Use a scoop to mix up the kernel in the water to remove the dust and debris. Add 45% water content by weight to the cooking pot. Boil enclosed until the water absorbed. Dry on a towel and autoclave.
