... tomorrow and will update my review if it's not good as it's expected to be
UPDATE: It smelled old and not good but I was already oppened a bag so I tried a small handful of it and it didn't pop as it should ,I even waited too long so I gave it the chance to pop but it ended up burnt and didn't pop well too! I was already opened it so I couldn't return and desposed it , Amazon customer service fixed that issue for me so thx anyways. I didn't try to pop some yet but I will tomorrow and will update my review if it's not good as it's expected to be, I gave it 4 stars because it arrived in a good condition and I opened one of the bags -(it's 2 bages together) -and checked it for any bad smell or something but it didn't smell weird or anything and looked good , the kernels are yellow and small . Thx.
I use a StirCrazy popcorn popper that is a fabulous appliance and this popcorn is not only delicious and thoroughly pops, it is not a genetically modified corn. In today's agricultural world that isn't easy to find. My only problem is I live in Costa Rica and to have a friend bring this down in their suitcase is sometimes an issue with Customs. Randomly if they check the suitcase they will disallow this popcorn as an agricultural "seed" and that is a no-no. Other times, it gets through no problem. It may become too much an issue for me to risk paying for and customs folks ending up confiscating. With that said, this popcorn is worth the money and risk.
We kicked chemicals about two years ago, and since the microwave popcorn is so full of toxic junk, it went out the door with the rest of the other stuff. As other reviewers stated, the kernels are smaller but they pop up to the same size as other popcorn. I use a Pop Lite air popper and I've never had an issue. Very few unpopped kernels and the half-popped ones are edible. I melt some of my homemade sweetcream butter made with raw heavy cream (it's indescribably delicious) and I sprinkle some mild Himalayan pink salt over it. Once that's all tossed together, it's the best popcorn I've ever had. When we go to the movies my kids beg me to smuggle in a bag of this stuff instead of buying the gross over-oiled, heavily salted, fake-buttered movie theater popcorn. I wish I'd been using this popcorn for all the years I used the microwave stuff. Ah well, lesson (eventually) learned.
I ordered this to use in a new hot air popper mostly because of the price. I've used it in the hot air popper plus used it to make caramel corn. The popcorn pops almost to the last kernel. The texture is quite nice and hulls are quite thin. However, the bag I received, even though the best by date is almost two years away, tastes stale.
Excellent popcorn! I am very picky about my popcorn too. But this product fit the bill in every way! Shipped ultra fast too! (I ordered Prime on Friday afternoon had it Sunday morning! Love you Prime!) Pops up very nicely and was very tasty! Organic - GMO Free - Tasty - What more could you ask of your popcorn?!
This is just okay pop corn. We use a stove top stainless steel popper with Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. With Arrowhead Mills Organic pop corn it makes a wonderful, tender, delicious pop corn. With Now Foods, okay but tough and dry.
This popcorn is delicious and after much research I settled on Now brand as it's organic and sold in 1.5lb increments which is better than most of the other 2-5lb bulk bags. My only con is that there are quite a few unpopped kernels afterward (I strictly use an air popper) and I end up throwing a small handful away after every batch. Other than that these are light, fluffy and tasty fresh! I actually prefer this brand now over Bob's Red Mill which I used to buy prior to this purchase.
Had this in the pantry for almost a year but thought, what the heck. Frist batch, done with olive oil on low-moderate heat yielded scrawny, tough popcorn. Second attempt was in a small (2 quart) non-stick saucepan with about 1/4c corn and 2 T olive oil on high-moderate heat until a few seconds after oil started shimmering vigorously. Turned heat to medium and popping started about a minute later. Turned heat off after popping slowed down (well before it finished) and the resulting popcorn was perfect, with one unpoppped kernel. I might try doubling the pan size and amount of corn but not much more than that.
In my opinion the BEST organic popcorn on the market! Fresh, not "chewy" and I can add my own organic pasture raised delicious butter and Himalayan pink salt! I put this corn in my hot air popper and it comes out perfect every time 😋 ❤!
