What's popcorn without salt?
Precisely ground
Getting just the right coarseness to coat the popcorn perfectly
So, why make salt?
We make it because we use it. Now we want to share it!
Lets look at how we got here...
Can't beat a bowl of popcorn! Every day? Why not!
Nutritional yeast, what is that? Wait, that's amazing! And healthy?!
But half of it is on my shirt and the other half is still in the bowl...
Remember that special popcorn salt Dad used to buy?
Let's pull out the grinder and give it a shot!
1000's of bowls later... I think we've figured it out!
Our Story
Meet Fred
He's our Dad. Our obsession with popcorn started with him. Family time at our house always meant popcorn. Movie night required a big metal bowl filled with popcorn. He'd fill a bag taller than we were for fireworks at the beach on the 4th of July. We were always sure to grab the free refill on the way out of the movie theater to eat in the car on the way home. To this day, popcorn is still our go to snack.
Meet Us
We're three brothers from Wisconsin who still share a bowl of popcorn any chance we can get. Over the years our lives have changed, our tastes have changed and our goals have changed but the one constant has been our love of popcorn. As we've grown older we've become more health concious and it's a snack that we can still feel good about eating.

What the heck is nutritional yeast?
-
It is deactivated yeast and is completely vegan and gluten free. It has a nutty, cheesy flavor that makes it perfect for popcorn lovers.

-
Is it really healthy?
- Yes it is! It's a great source of protein and fiber. It's also packed with B vitamins and trace minerals. Vitamin B deficiency is fairly common, especially for people on vegan diets, and nutritional yeast can be a great way to combat that. Trace minerals are very important for gene regulation, metabolism, growth and immunity. Want help fending off bugs and improving your weight? Eat more nutritional yeast!

I've been pouring nutritional yeast on my popcorn for years, why's this better?
- If you've been doing that I'm sure you're familiar with the process of brushing the flakes off your shirt when you're done and wiping your finger across the bottom of the bowl to pick up everything that didn't stick. Instead of doing that, we set out to keep more of it on the popcorn so we get more of that cheesy deliciousness with every bite. Being ground to just the right size, it sticks so much better!
