As a popcorn enthusiast living in Houston, I've made my fair share of microwave popcorn. But I'm sure you're aware that if you don't take the proper precautions, you can end up with moldy popcorn. In this article, I'm going to show you how to avoid this common problem.

Mold growth can occur if your popcorn is exposed to moisture. This can happen if you leave your popcorn in the bag for too long or if you store it in a humid environment. To avoid this, make sure to use a microwave popcorn maker or other food-grade silicone bags to store your popcorn. These bags are designed to prevent moisture from getting in, ensuring your popcorn stays fresh and mold-free.

You should also make sure to store your popcorn in a cool, dry place to avoid any moisture getting in. This will ensure your popcorn stays fresh and tasty.

Finally, it's important to make sure you consume your popcorn within the recommended time frame. Don't leave your popcorn in the bag for too long or it could start to mold.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your popcorn stays mold free and tasty. If you're looking for more tips and recipes, be sure to sign up for the Kernel Kravings newsletter.
