Pro tip: How to make the seasoning stick to the popcorn
To ensure your popcorn is evenly coated with seasoning that sticks and bursting with flavour, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Pop your corn in a pot on the stovetop (in our opinion this gives the best results), microwave or air popper (the healthiest option).
- For the best results, use freshly popped hot popcorn. The warmth of the popcorn will help the seasonings stick better.
- Use a spray bottle and vegetable oil, olive oil, melted butter, coconut oil or ghee (BEST!) to lightly coat your popcorn before adding your seasoning. This helps the seasoning adhere better and using a spray bottle ensures even distribution and will prevent your popcorn from becoming soggy.
- Apply seasonings in layers: To achieve a well-balanced flavour, apply the seasonings in layers. Start with a light coating, toss the popcorn to distribute the seasoning, and then add more if desired.
- Toss gently: When applying the seasonings, toss the popcorn gently to avoid breaking the kernels. This will help ensure that every bite is flavourful and enjoyable.
Wondering how much seasoning to use? Start with about 1-2 teaspoon per cup of popcorn, adjusting to taste. Remember, it’s easier to add more than to remove excess seasoning once it’s on.
By following these tips, you’ll be able to create perfectly seasoned popcorn that will impress even the most discerning snack connoisseurs.
Can I use popcorn seasonings on other foods?
Popcorn seasonings aren’t just for popcorn! They’re versatile enough for other foods too. Sprinkle on vegetables, potatoes, meats, snacks, dips, sweets, and breakfast items for added flavour.
Looking for some inspiration? Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Honey Butter on Toast: Sprinkle on buttered toast for a quick, sweet breakfast.
- Cheese, Herb & Garlic Seasoning on Pasta: Add to your pasta dishes for an extra cheesy flavour.
- Chilli Cheese on Pizza: Sprinkle on your Pizza for a nice cheesy zing.
- Parmesan & Roast Garlic on roasted potatoes or hot chips: Toss your veggies in a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning before roasting.
- Salt & Vinegar on Nuts: Coat almonds, hazelnuts or cashews in a bit of oil and your seasoning, then roast for a crunchy, flavourful snack.

- Salted Butter on your vegetables: Great on all of your veg – roasted, stir-fry, steamed or any way you like them.
How should I store my seasonings?
To keep your seasoning kicking longer:
- Store it in a cool, dry place like the pantry.
- Seal the lid tight after each use to ward off moisture and oxygen.
- Don’t dip a wet spoon into the jar—it brings in unwanted moisture and mould risks.
- For maximum flavour use before the “Best Before” date.
- If freezing is your thing, ensure it’s sealed well and you will extend your shelf-life up to 6 months.
Why do my seasonings sometimes clump together?
It’s completely normal for all-natural seasonings to clump over time. Exposure to air gradually causes seasonings to release proteins or carbohydrates, which then dissolve and make the granules stick together. Unlike most commercial grocery store seasonings, we do not use anti-caking agents or other chemical compounds in our seasonings. While these chemicals can prevent clumping, we prioritise offering an all-natural product free from such additives.
What should I do if my seasonings clump?
If clumps form try the following:
- Stir the seasonings with a dry spoon or fork handle.
- Gently tap the jar on the bench to loosen the seasonings.
- Try using a desiccant packet or dry rice to suck up extra moisture.
A word on packaging
Why do we go with plastic packaging instead of glass for our seasonings? Plastic gets the nod due to being lighter, tougher during shipping (no breakage worries), and kid-safe. Also no worries of broken glass if you tap on the bench to loosen your seasonings if they clump.
In wrapping up
Jazzing up your popcorn game with tasty seasonings is an easy way to savour a healthier and more exciting snack time. By picking natural ingredients, steering clear of dodgy additives, and playing around with different flavours, every movie night becomes a gourmet treat waiting to happen.
