We've prepared everything you need to know before ordering and before your first preparation, so you can make popcorn with peace of mind, exactly how you like it.

About the product

What is EcoPop?

EcoPop is a dedicated microwave paper bag with a unique closure, allowing you to make popcorn at home cleanly and simply – without oil during preparation, and with full control over the taste.

What's special about EcoPop compared to ready-made microwave popcorn bags?

In pre-packaged bags, the flavor is "pre-sealed" – salt, fat, and seasoning are already inside.
With EcoPop, you start with only kernels, so you choose whether to add salt, which oil/butter to use (if any), and which seasoning suits you.

What comes in the package?

EcoPop Kit includes:
10 EcoPop bags
4 reusable EcoLock fasteners

Preparation and Use

How many seeds do you put in each bag?

One bag is for 50g of popcorn kernels, which is about half a cup.

How do you actually make it?
  1. Fill a bag with 50g of kernels (half a cup).
  2. Fold and seal according to the instructions on the back of the package with
  3. Microwave on medium power for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stop when the popping slows down, carefully open (it's hot!), and season if desired.
At what power and for how long in the microwave?

It's recommended to start with medium power and 2–3 minutes.
Every microwave is different, so for the first time, it's a good idea to stay near the microwave and adjust your time according to the popping rate.

What's the signal to stop?

When the rate of popping significantly decreases (there are intervals of approximately 1-2 seconds between "pops") – it's time to stop to prevent burning.

Is oil a must?

No. The popcorn pops without a drop of oil during preparation.
Afterward, you decide: leave it completely natural, or add a little quality oil/butter to taste.

Can I season it before heating?

It is recommended to season after preparation – (in the bag or in a bowl) this way the taste is preserved, there is better control, and fewer "surprises" during heating.
After preparation, you can go for sweet/savory/spicy/parmesan/caramel and more – without limits.

What kind of seeds are suitable?

All popcorn kernels are suitable. If you like "big and fluffy" or "small and crunchy" – you choose the type of kernel and the experience.

Can I prepare two bags together?

To ensure a consistent and safe result, it is recommended to prepare one bag at a time. If you want more, simply prepare another bag immediately afterward.

What if there are unpopped kernels left?

It's natural – a little always remains. If a lot remains, next time you can slightly extend the preparation time or improve the quality/freshness of the grains.

Safety and comfort

Is it safe?

EcoPop is a paper bag specially designed for the microwave with a unique closure, which allows you to make popcorn at home in a clean and simple way – without oil during preparation, and with full control over the taste.

Is it suitable for children over 5 years old?

Yes, it's a great experience for the family – just make sure an adult supervises the activation and opening, as the bag gets hot.

Is there any dirt or odors?

Very little. No pot, no oil on the stove, and no dishes to wash. Just prepare, eat, and you're done.

Health & Nutrition

Is EcoPop suitable for a low-sodium diet?

Exactly. In pre-packaged bags, the amount of salt is fixed. Here, you can make popcorn without any salt at all, or add just a little – according to what's right for you.

Is EcoPop suitable for someone reducing fat/calories?

Yes. The popcorn pops without oil during preparation, making it easy to maintain a light snack. If desired, you can add just a "touch" of quality fat (or skip it entirely).

Is it vegan/gluten-free?

Popcorn (corn) is naturally gluten-free and vegan – but that also depends on the kernels and seasoning you choose. If this is important to you, it's recommended to choose kernels and toppings with appropriate labeling.

Environment and Reuse

Are the bags disposable?

Yes, the bags are for single use.

Are the clasps reusable?

Yes. The EcoLock is designed for reuse. After use, simply wipe/clean gently as needed and return to the drawer.

How do you dispose of the bag after use?

The bag is made of paper. If it remains relatively clean, you can consider paper recycling according to your city/authority's guidelines. If it's dirty/greasy from seasoning, dispose of it in the regular trash as per your local practice.
