‘Organic’ is a protected term. The EU organic logo is compulsory for pre-packed food produced in the EU and sold as organic. The logo must be accompanied by a control code and an indication of agricultural origin. For imported organic products, the logo may be used voluntarily under the applicable EU import rules.
AH-Boodschappen.nl recommends heating vegetable oil, adding a layer of popcorn kernels and covering the pan. Turn the heat down to medium once the kernels start popping. According to the instructions, the popcorn is ready when it stops popping regularly. Also follow the current packaging instructions for the product you buy.
The product advice for AH Biologisch Popcorn mais is to store the kernels in a cool, dark, dry place. According to the product information, the best-before date is shown on the side of the packaging.

Check the seller’s terms for the delivery or collection slot you choose. Albert Heijn says delivery costs depend on the delivery slot; this seller’s terms do not automatically apply to other retailers.
