An ingredient delivery system for popcorn kernels is described. The ingredient delivery system can include multiple layers. The synergy formed from the multiple layers of the ingredient delivery system results in a popped popcorn with minimal flaking and blow-off. Thus, a greater ingredient impact is imparted to the consumer. Also, the layer combination minimizes any hindrance of the natural popping action of the kernels. Thus, consumers have a greater pop volume for consumption. La présente invention a trait à un système de distribution d'ingrédients destiné à des grains de pop-corn. Le système de distribution d'ingrédients peut inclure de multiples couches. La synergie formée à partir des multiples couches du système de distribution d'ingrédients permet d'obtenir un maïs soufflé avec un minimum de floconnage et de dégonflage. De la sorte, le consommateur peut profiter d'une influence plus importante des ingrédients. De même, la combinaison de couches minimise tout blocage de l'action de soufflage naturelle des grains. De la sorte, les consommateurs disposent d'un volume de pop-corn plus important à consommer.
