Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the popcorn group. Ears reach a length of 13–15 cm. The kernels have a deep glossy dark red color, a rounded or mushroom shape, and possess a tender texture.

The plant forms a strong stem resistant to lodging. In terms of expansion ratio during preparation, the variety is comparable to white popcorn hybrids, and the finished product has a light nutty flavor.

The variety has a dual purpose: culinary for making popcorn and decorative due to the bright color of the ears and kernels.
