Concession Essentials Gourmet Mushroom Extra Large Popcorn Kernels - 2lbs

These are wonderful popping corn. When popped, they are larger and rounder than normal popping corn I used to get at the grocery store. The round dome has an interesting texture that is great for picking up flavors that I add to my popcorn (e.g. cheese powder). This corn does not leave many unpopped kernels, as long as I use the right temperature (quite hot) and keep the pot moving to distribute the heat and avoid burning. I use a cast iron dutch oven to pop my corn with a high temperature oil such as avocado oil.

Year after year, I search online for 100% mushroom popcorn kernels and every single purchase is NEVER what it claims to be. Why do sellers ALWAYS mix in butterfly kernels? This $12.99 bottle is by far the worst qualities I’ve ever bought. There’s barely any mushroom popcorn at all. Plus, there’s so much waste than average. If you’re wondering, I pop over the stove in a Lindy’s pot by initially warming up the kernels in oil for at least 30-60 seconds, then turn up the heat to high and let it pop while cranking the handle, and finally turning off the heat when the popping slows down. Immediately empty hot and freshly popped popcorn into an extra large stainless steel mixing bowl while quickly tossing in finely ground sea salt and gently massaging out the hulls and unpopped kernels so they fall to the bottom. Toss repeatedly until most of the hulls and undesirable pieces are removed. I popped half of the bottle which is equal to 2 measuring cups. The yield was poor, but with plentiful waste. This brand is a definite thumbs down pass!

Definitely a slightly sweeter (as in very very slight) Vs. Regular and such a neat texture. A great way to mix up your popcorn experience!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:These pop so well but the hull is a little too thick.

Love mushroom kernels to make movie theater popcorn at home!

Okay, but wasn’t outstanding as some of the other reviews had said. Even if I wasn’t overjoyed, I didn’t just throw the rest away, I gave it to a local church to use with their Weekly Christian Children’s Church SchoolActivity Programs.

I've been wanting to try mushroom popcorn for the longest time. Well I finally got my first order and I was very disappointed. It arrived the next day so I was excited to try it in my bar style popcorn machine and I was so let down. The mushroom popcorn was very good but the problem was that the majority of the batch was your normal butterfly style popcorn. I looks like they mix the much cheaper popcorn with the mushroom popcorn to increase their profits. Well they got me for one order but I'll never order anything from them again. Do yourself a favor and buy from a honest vendor but these guys.

Really good popcorn. Perfect fluffy popped corn kernels. Very tasty!
