Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

How should I store and pop my popcorn kernels?
Store your organic popcorn below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and your conventional popcorn below 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The popping temperature for the kernels should be around 440 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mushroom popcorn requires a high temperature of at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit in order to produce enough steam to open the kernels into their round shape. Popping mushroom popcorn at too low of a temperature or in the microwave will likely result in butterfly-shaped kernels. For best results, use the hot air of dry flow-through machines to achieve the perfect mushroom kernel. Although hot oil can also be used when making mushroom popcorn, a lower percentage of round kernels will result.
The primary difference between mushroom and butterfly popcorn is the shape of the kernel. Mushroom kernels are more round and compact which provides a larger surface area for coatings to stick to, making it perfect for gourmet confections such as kettle and caramel corn. Butterfly popcorn has a more irregular shape with a number of protruding wings that allow butter and salt to be trapped underneath, making it great for movie theatres and concession stands.

We bought the 50-lb bag of Mushroom Popcorn and finished it in about nine months. It was totally worth it. It was super fresh, with barely any un-popped kernels (under 2%), way better than grocery-store popcorn. It also feels less wasteful since it comes in a single large paper bag instead of tons of smaller plastic packages. We liked it so much we’re never going back to store-bought.

Got it on sale and love how little kernels are left after popping. Works great with the coconut oil I got.

Good price and good popcorn. Pops up fluffier than what I had before. It is softer than what I am used to which is better for my older mother. She goes through 50 pounds of popcorn a year, so I will be back for more.

The price point is good on this product and it also popped well. But it had a lot of hulls that didn't always shake loose while in the sifting table.

Reist mushroom popcorn is great tasting, crunchy kernels with few old maids. Great for caramel corn, but even great just plain with butter and salt!

We love our kettle corn and these mushroom kernels are the best. They pop beautifully large round popcorn and there are not too many un-popped kernels.

Best mushroom popcorn product I have ever found. Great value for a Non-GMO kernel. Pops big and my customers love the final product. I wouldn't order any other popcorn kernel.

This has been a reliable mushroom popcorn for our business. We use it on occasion at various events. The yield per bag is considerably higher then other mushroom popcorn brands.

I am preparing to launch a kettle corn vending business and I have been researching the various brands of mushroom corn for months. I've collected samples, popped them, and compared the results side by side. I can honestly say there is very little difference between one brand and another. So if all mushroom popcorns are essentially the same, why would you pay 50% more for one brand? Most of the big brands that folks swear by cost 50% more than this brand. The only difference I've seen is some brands pop slightly larger than other brands. But this is your best value when you consider price, quality and results.

Best price around for mushroom popcorn with quick shipping. Pops well though due to weight prefer to make order larger to spread out shipping cost.

I would give this product six stars! We came across this due to there being a shortage in the Midwest and have been using it ever since. It gives an excellent yield and cooks up leaving hardly any unpopped kernels. Definitely good stuff!

As I live in Maryland, I try and keep business local with regards to sourcing. Previously I used a company in the Midwest, but this popcorn has exceeded my expectations. I feel the quality is very high, the expansion rate is high as well and best of all even customers noticed the difference with this premium non-GMO popcorn. A top pick!
