Fandisha (Popcorn) 400g

Description

Bring a familiar crunch to your coffee ceremony with Fandisha popcorn kernels. This 400g bag contains premium, unpopped yellow kernels chosen for reliable popping, light texture, and classic corn flavour. Pop them fresh on the stovetop, in an air popper, or in the microwave and serve lightly salted or spiced as a traditional accompaniment to Ethiopian and Eritrean coffee ceremonies. Plain kernels let you control seasoning — use butter and salt, spiced berbere-seasoning, or sugar and cinnamon for a sweeter option.

4. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and season as desired.
