An eight pound bulk bag of yellow mushroom popcorn kernels - roughly sixty-four stovetop batches, or a season of caramel corn for someone who makes it in quantity. This is the step up from tubs, for the household or small operation that has stopped buying popcorn by the pound.

Who buys the 8 lb bag

  • Home caramel and kettle corn makers working through several pounds a month.
  • Church groups, schools, scout troops and fundraisers popping for a crowd.
  • Farmers market and craft fair vendors too small for a 50 lb sack.
  • Anyone tired of reordering a tub at a time.

Why mushroom holds up at volume

When you are coating popcorn in batch quantities, breakage is the whole problem. Butterfly corn shears its wings off in a tumbler and you end up with an inch of sugary crumb at the bottom of every bag. Mushroom pops into a dense sphere with nothing sticking out, so it survives coating, tossing, bagging and shipping intact. That is why nearly every commercial caramel corn you have eaten was mushroom corn.

Storing eight pounds well

Popcorn pops because of the water sealed inside each kernel, so storage is moisture management. Keep the bag closed, indoors, off a cold concrete floor and out of direct sun. Do not refrigerate it and do not store it near a heat vent - a kernel that dries out will not pop, and one that takes on moisture goes tough. Stored cool and dry in the sealed bag, it holds its pop for years. If you decant, use an airtight container rather than an open jar.

So much better than the usual!

An incredible crunchy texture with a lightness that can't be believed. Real corn flavor and so much fun to make. I bought my 11 and 8 year old grandsons a popcorn maker and Princeton popcorn. So much fun for them as well as a better treat than candy!

I finally popped your corn to make our version of cracker jacks and I was amazed how your tiny seeds popped so huge and hardly any unpopped kernels were left. In order to know this, I had a little bit of my former mushroom left to compare yours to. hands down, yours was amazing.
The price might be a little high, however, I got so much more volume with hardly any unpopped kernels and the popcorn was almost white.
I am also glad to be supporting an American farmer with the environment in mind. Now, when I make it again as plain popcorn, I can't wait to shake my super salt on it with some butter. Thanks!

Pops up really large popcorn, with lots and lots and lots of really hard hulls. Fairly tender, and a small amount of unpopped kernels yield a lot of popcorn.

The best

If you are looking for the best popcorn, this is it. My family and I enjoy watching movies more at home than at a theater because this popcorn is so much better. My kids, who are 9 and 4, ask for movie nights at home just so they can eat this popcorn.

The corn pops up with a significant hull. I didn't expect that much. Granted, I've only popped 1 batch.

Sooo filling!

There is a learning curve with this popcorn. You do need to let the oil get hotter. What we have found to be the greatest difference between your popcorn and conventional popcorn is that the kernels are so dense! We are now making only half the popcorn we use used to making, it is very filling. The only drawback I see is a lot of very tough hulls.

Disappointed in mushroom style

I have made three batches so far using less oil each time, down to 2 tablespoons with 1/2 cup of kernels. The first batch was covered with hulls, each subsequent batch has been a little better but still WAY too many hulls. What am I doing wrong? Using the Stovepop popper from the website. The first batch I heated oil first as described in enclosed tips and added kernels after the first 3 popped, the 2nd and 3rd I followed the instructions that came with the Stovepop and added all kernels initially and didn't"t use quite as much heat, and lowered heat after popping started. Regular butterfly kernels that I had on hand worked out fantastic, just no luck with the mushroom type.

In the 1960's we grew

In the 1960's we grew up on a family farm in Iowa. Every Sunday evening we had popcorn and ice cream and watched Disney and Bonanza. I ordered your popcorn and sent it to my sister for nostalgia.

2lb Tub Yellow Mushroom Popcorn Kernels

"Poor popping results, half managed to come to full size, the others, some to none being popped. In addition, felt like chewing a bagel, corn rendering too thick unlike butterfly popping corn. No repeat purchase here."
