Princeton PopcornMushroom Hulless Popcorn Kernels – Easy-Eating, Ball Shaped Tender Popping Corn, Non-GMO Popcorn Kernels, No Hulls, Farmer Direct, Microwave Air Popper or Stovetop 32oz Jar

We were surprised the first time we air popped this product. All but five kernels popped. We never had such a yield as this. It is a delicious product and this is our second order. We found this product when I was looking for Kansas products to have on hand when company came.

This container should arrive sealed. Mine arrived with a BROKEN SEAL, which, at the very least, dried out the popcorn kernels. I tried a batch, anyway, and it did not pop in the mushroom shape. More importantly, ALL OF IT WAS STALE and very hard to chew since the stale popcorn kernels could not fully pop.This was very expensive popcorn and incredibly disappointing. My batch is not edible and will need to be discarded. You cannot return this product as it is perishable.

My batch so far didn't mushroom and was very hard. Maybe I didn't pop it right or not good to pop in a pot. I'll need to try again.

This tastes good, was crispy, not chewy. It is not as big and fluffy as I'd thought it would be. Tried it in the popcorn machine and had tons of unpopped kernels. Tried it in a pan and had more success. All the kernels popped in a way. They were the orphan kernels that are cracked and crunchy. Lots of them. Lots.

I took a chance on another brand because my favorite was out of stock. I was actually impressed by the size when it popped but as soon as I bit into it, it was like chewing on styrofoam. The flavor was good, the size was good but it was stale. Additionally there were many, many hulls and uncooked kernels compared to my favorite brand. Look, occasional bad batches get out. One container is not enough for you or me to make a judgement about the company as it could just be bad luck getting that 1 in 10000 that is bad.

I was looking for a mushroom popcorn to use in homemade 'Moose Munch' and took a chance on Princeton Popcorn brand.Pros: tastes great plain, most of the kernels popped up as mushroom, very few unpopped kernels remained, worked well for 'Moose Munch' caramel coating, non-GMO (for those worried about genetically modified foods)Cons: cost is over the top, packaging is plastic, product is not grown organically.Comments: I saw that one commenter had a live bug in a sealed container and others had pieces of debris. While no one likes to see live bugs or debris in their food, a reasonable person understands that any unprocessed plant-based food is prone to this. I was actually happy to see this 'live bug' in a sealed container. Made me think that maybe pesticides are used with a light hand? While product is really pricey, no one forced me to buy it and I was happy to support a US based farm. Mushroom popcorn pops up large and so even though the purchased container was small, I will get MANY large batches of 'Moose Munch out of it, and probably a bad case of type 2 diabetes. I would have preferred a more biofriendly container, but at least there was no empty space to give the appearance of more product than you are actually getting. I recently purchased a container of anti-perspirant that has about 1-inch of actual product and 2-inches of empty plastic. Come on Procter & Gamble! Gluten-free is a moot point and not special to Princeton Popcorn. All plain popcorn is Gluten-free. Get your dental floss ready, 'cause this popcorn is loaded with husks. This is to be expected with any large kernel popcorn. Think of it as more fiber in your diet. Fresh vs. stale, hmmm. A freshly popped batch tasted great and that's before the caramel, chocolate, and nuts were added! Mushroom popcorn is NOT a tender popcorn because of it's size and density which makes it perfect for heavy coatings like caramel. People may be unfairly thinking that it is stale when it is not. That tough chew and nutty taste is characteristic of the variety. If you want a tender 'fresh' tasting popcorn, stick to the smaller hull-less varieties. Princeton Popcorn, All plain popcorn is gluten-free, so stop making it sound like yours is special. And 'Farm Grown'? Vs what, your backyard? I used a reliable hot-air popper and highly recommend heating it up for a good 2-3 minutes before adding the kernels. I added a little less than a half cup per batch and it was perfect with absolutely no burnt kernels. PP, Please print a weight on your product label. Ultimately, I would probably purchase this product again, but I think my 32 ounce container will last awhile.

After buying popcorn at the grocery store and finding it soggy and small, I was looking forward to getting larger and crisp kernels to use with caramel and cheese flavorings. I made a batch tonight and found the kernels to be smaller and less crisp than the store-bought. I didn't look at the ratings. Had I done so, I would not have ordered this product. I hope this helps someone.I posted the above. Then this. The first pop (above) was probably my fault as I popped it in a wok pan with a narrow bottom. Tonight, I popped it in a regular pot and the corn came out tasty and crisp. I recommend this brand.

I was looking for a superior popcorn, willing to spend for the quality. This popcorn was terrible. There were so many kernels that didn't pop and what did pop was small and tasteless. Very disappointed, the cheap store brand was better than this. Not even worth popping again, I tried it twice, just throwing it away.
