Concession EssentialsGourmet Mushroom Extra Large Popcorn Kernels - 2lbs

I cannot get or keep this enough. I love this popcorn. The texture is better than movie theater popcorn. It pops well. I can pop it in a brown paper bag in my microwave with a little oil. The quality is amazing with great crunch. This is different than what you get at standard stores because the pops are much much larger so you don’t need to make much to get a medium size theater bag of popped corn. So much cheaper.Pro: Affordable/ big pop/ great taste/ great for parties or gatherings or just a staycation on the couch.Cons: It doesn’t last as long because it’s too good.Highly recommend 🤩🤩🤩🤩

No leftover kernels, pops in the mushroom shaped advertised, and just plain tasty popcorn with a firm but light texture. I’ll keep buying it, for sure.

It popped well as pictured on container. But I was disappointed as it is chewy and tough. I used my air popper. I didn’t heat it up the first time so I thought that might be it so I gave it another go and tried heating up my air popper prior to using it. That didn’t make a difference. It was still chewy and tough. I can’t return it. Too pricey to not be able to enjoy. Will not be re-ordering.

I’ve had crispier but these are good for the price. A little chewy but most of them pop and I’m satisfied with my purchase

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.

The good news first. It tastes like quality popcorn. The bad is the heavy hulls left after popping. The worst is the size of the container; I'll be having a lot of hulls in my future.

This product has potential to be 5 stars, but my experience was awful.I received this product and at first glance it was as advertised, HUGE kernels in the overly spherical shape only seen on mushroom popcorn kernels.Upon opening the lid I saw a red flag, no safely seal at all and a sticker on the lid saying “expires:” for a date only 60 days away.I don’t know if it was age or air but the kernels popped poorly with a lot of old maids. The minority that popped correctly were great tasting, huge & round .75 inch diameter, and the corn smells great also.I’d say if 80% of the kernels popped correctly it’d be great value, but instead I’ve got around 20% ratio, the rest being tiny & chewy.

This is the first mushroom popcorn I purchased.I use an air popper.It was good as I had nothing to compare it to, until now.I bought 2 other brands from Amazon.Smaller bags but the price was double on brand A and triple the price on brand U.I was going to write a review on brand U as it popped better than Perfect Pop and brand A popped less, but then I bought another 8 lb container of Perfect Pop and it was a whole lot better than brand U!Here's why I think it was better this time.The use by date was about 1 year out on my first purchase. The second time it was almost 2 years out!These things were popping out of the machine so hard that some would shoot into my container and Pop, tossing out several other popped corn in the process! You can actually hear the difference.Also I noticed more hulls at the bottom of the container. The hulls are thicker than butterfly popcorn, and seem to crunch more and get stuck less in my teeth and gums.There are some butterfly's but I think those are just over popped mushrooms.
