Propercorn was set up by friends Cassandra Stavrou and Ryan Kohn in 2011, originally operating from her kitchen. Their products are now sold by numerous UK retailers as well as in overseas markets including Germany and Switzerland.
Propercorn claims its new product range is a ‘no junk’ snack alternative which contains ‘nothing but wholegrain corn, natural seasonings and no refined sugar’.
Stavrou said: “Since we launched nearly six years ago, we’ve watched popcorn go from mainstay of the cinema to healthy snacking staple.
