Hey all,

Been wanting to reduce the amount of waste I generate, and one small way I was thinking of doing so was perhaps by reheating the unpopped popcorn kernels that appear in the bottom of my bowl after making a batch with my air popper.

Would this be safe to do, or is it recommended against? I’d love to reuse them if possible and ensure I have no unneeded waste there, but I also want to make sure I’m not making myself sick by eating something I shouldn’t be.

Thanks in advance!

    If they became coal, toss them. If you collected them last week, toss them, because the oil will go bad. Otherwise should be safe, they are dry so they cannot grow fungus or bacteria.
