Our organic popcorn is cooked in a kettle and uniquely seasoned to deliver a wallop of B vitmains. It is a simple recipe true to popcorn's nature as the oldest snack.
Bjorn is a corn farmer's son. Jamie is an inventor and artist. The two met at Bard College, where Bjorn became known for his delicious family popcorn recipe. When Jamie developed a low cost solar cooking technique, he immediately thought of Bjorn's popcorn. BjornQorn sun-popped corn was born.
When most people think of solar power, they think of solar panels and electricity. However it is much simpler and cheaper to use the sun's direct heat. This type of solar energy is the foundation of our business. And if you visit our facility on a clear blue day, you will be astonished to see that BjornQorn is actually popped purely by the power of the sun.
To get temperatures that are high enough to make BjornQorn, we invented a new type of solar concentrator called the Caloris Basin. Our reflective dish is set right into the ground, making it ten times cheaper than solar panels while occupying half the space.
Our signature technology, the Caloris Basin, is great on a small scale, too! We are developing dirt cheap kits that provide the same heat as a range top stove. They can be assembled using mostly local materials, making them ideal for parts of the world with limited access to basic energy and ample access to sun. By buying a bag of BjornQorn, you are helping us to research and spread this new approach.
