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.

1. A popcorn product, comprising: a microwave popcorn package having a susceptor associated with the microwave popcorn package;an oil/fat slurry in the microwave popcorn package;a charge of popcorn kernels in the microwave popcorn package, wherein the charge of popcorn kernels includes at least a portion of the kernels having an ingredient delivery system formed on the hull of the kernels, wherein the ingredient delivery system includes a plurality of layers comprising: a priming layer formed from a water based priming solution, wherein the priming layer is located on the surface of the kernels and has a thickness from about 1 μm to about 20 μm and has a surface that is rougher than the surface of the kernels, wherein the priming layer includes a cellulose component and a starch component,an ingredient layer formed from a water based ingredient solution, wherein the ingredient layer is located on the surface of the priming layer and has a thickness from about 25 μm to about 50 μm, wherein the ingredient layer includes a gum component and an ingredient component, wherein the ingredient component includes at least one member of a group comprising; a flavor component and a color component;a sealant layer formed from a water based sealant solution, wherein the sealant layer is located on the surface of the ingredient layer and has a thickness from about 10 μm to about 15 μm and has a smooth surface texture similar to the surface of the kernels, wherein the sealant layer includes a cellulose component. 2. The popcorn product of claim 1, wherein the kernels are unpopped kernels. 3. The popcorn product of claim 1, wherein the kernels are popped kernels. 4. The popcorn product of claim 3, further comprising flakings of the ingredient delivery system located in the microwave popcorn package, wherein the flakings of the ingredient delivery system are less than about 1% by total weight of the popcorn kernels. 5. The popcorn product of claim 4, wherein the flakings of the ingredient delivery system are less than about 0.015% by total weight of the popcorn kernels. 6. The popcorn product of claim 1, wherein the cellulose component of the priming layer is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, wherein the starch is a modified corn starch. 7. The popcorn product of claim 1, wherein the gum component of the ingredient layer is a gellan gum component. 8. The popcorn product of claim 7, wherein the ingredient component further includes at least one member of a group comprising: a nutrient component, a texture component, and an aromatic component. 9. The popcorn product of claim 1, wherein the cellulose component of the sealant layer is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. 10. The popcorn product of claim 1, wherein the sealant layer further includes an aromatic component. 11. A popcorn product, comprising: a popcorn kernel;an ingredient delivery system formed on the kernel, wherein the ingredient delivery system includes a plurality of separately formed, wherein the layers include: a priming layer, wherein the priming layer is located on the surface of the popcorn kernel, wherein the priming layer includes a carbohydrate polymeric component and has a surface that is rougher than the surface of the kernels;an ingredient layer located on the surface of the priming layer, wherein the ingredient layer includes a carbohydrate polymeric component and an ingredient component, wherein the ingredient component includes at least one member of a group comprising; a flavor component and a color component;a sealant layer located on the surface of the ingredient layer, wherein the sealant layer includes a cellulose component and has a smooth surface texture similar to the surface of the kernels. 12. The popcorn product of claim 11, wherein the carbohydrate polymeric component of the priming layer includes a cellulose component and a starch component. 13. The popcorn product of claim 12, wherein the cellulose component is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and the starch component is modified corn starch. 14. The popcorn product of claim 11, wherein the carbohydrate polymeric component of the ingredient layer includes a gum component and a starch component. 15. The popcorn product of claim 14, wherein the gum component is a gellan gum and the starch component is a modified corn starch. 16. The popcorn product of claim 11, wherein the cellulose component of the sealant layer is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.
