Wife and I think this is the best popcorn we have ever tasted. With a bit of coaching and reading the instructions supplied by JUST POPPIN, I am making truly " movie house " popcorn. I have popped one whole 2# bag and did not have one un-popped kernel. |

Found your site while researching recipes for kettle corn. Ordered your mushroom popping corn and was not disappointed. I swear, every kernel popped! Your advice on making kettle corn was spot on. Have made a batch every day since getting the product. Everyone loves it! Will be reordering sooner than later. |

WOW! Popcorn Gumballs! This is what my six year old granddaughter exclaimed when she first ate these!
I bought these for baked caramel corn for my granddaughter's school bake sale. I would say 98% popped huge mushrooms and the caramel corn was a huge hit. The family ate a bowlful of it right out of the hot air popper plain and loved it. Some hulls but great fiber! No complaints!
Will keep ordering! |

This popcorn is just the best! It was fluffy, tasty and just plain good. We finished off the first bowl so fast that I had to pop another batch...so good. While I used the air popper, I loaded it up with salt and butter and my family loved it (and so did I). Look forward to making my caramel corn too -- yum! |

I love this popcorn and I'm now a snob and won't buy anything else. BUT...I have yet to make this where more than 1/4 of the batch is mushrooms. However, my husband has no problem at all and makes 99% mushrooms ever time. AGH. I swear I do it *exactly* like he does and under his direction and I'm just a completely inadequate popcorn-maker. So just be aware that if you aren't thrilled it's probably because it didn't for you. You have to have "the gift". |

I add salt to the pan, cover bottom with canola oil, and bring it to just smoking. When I add the corn, I put two sheets of paper toweling under the lid to absorb oil that would otherwise tend to dribble down the outside of the pan. The corn popped up beautifully, and almost 100% of the kernels popped. This is the best corn that I have found. Thank you so much. |

I made the mistake of ordering this to POP on my stove-top whirley popper. I've always thought stove-top is the best, healthiest for our family. BUT, I have small children & this kernel must be BEST for kettle-corn at carnivals and/or fairs. OR, for people who know what they are doing at home & possibly glaze it w/ sweetness. I'm NOT 100% sure b/c I was completely disappointed and I wound-up throwing 95% of it away :( ON THE UP-SIDE: I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE HULLESS POPCORN FOR SMALL CHILDREN! NO PAIN IN CASE HUGE HULL GETS STUCK THEIR TEETH OR GUMS & LESS of a CHOKING HAZARD :) |

We just tried mushroom popcorn for the first time this week. It popped up beautifully, both on the stovetop and our hot air popper. Just have to be sure not to overcrowd the hot air popper. Almost every kernel popped and it was nice and big. It was perfect for our caramel corn. |

I found this popcorn to be ok but not as good as what I get when buying kettle korn at country fairs here in Oregon. The corn was big enough, but tough and full of hulls. Also, it was so heavy, it browned a bit in my air popper which contributed to the toughness.
The best popcorn I've bought so far is from Bob's Red Mill here in Oregon. I prefer the white variety. It's large, tender and flavorful. |

I told him it's a mushroom popcorn and he was like what? I said not only that but coconut oil and Flavacol season.
After sampling my popcorn. He hasn't been the same. He asked me to order some for him. I gave him the website. He's so tickled.

It not only looks better but seems to taste better, too. We use an air popper and get very good results by making sure the popper is hot before we put in the kernels. Thanks for a great product. |

About 5% of the popcorn pieces will be perfectly formed as they are in the picture. There will still be plenty of odd shaped kernels. Yes, it's still preferable to use this over the grocery store variety when making candy coated popcorn. But if you're just looking for good buttered popcorn, I wouldn't bother. |

We tried the mushroom popcorn, and find that the percentage of mushrooms vs. butterflies is great! I do think I might order the Kernel Katcher to resolve the issue of all the hulls. I don't seem to have anything in my kitchen of many items with holes large enough to let them through, so this should be great, especially after reading the reviews on the bowl.
We also purchased the Tender Pop Hulless popcorn, but have yet to try it out.
I love the personal touch of handwriting, "Enjoy!" on the invoice, as well as the wording on the instruction sheet. Yes, it is sad when those poor little kernels get crushed!
Thanks for great service, and a great product!

Our first 2 tries at the mushroom popcorn was very disappointing! The number of hulls was shocking! Our first batch was tough with a few burnt ones, even though we used an oil that was recommended. The second one was slightly more tender but still a disappointment. Our bowl did not look anything like your picture of the popcorn :( |

I had seen a show on the Food Network, several years ago, that described mushroom popcorn as the best. When I was pregnant, I went through a hugh popcorn phase and then started looking for mushroom popcorn in various local stores, to no avail. Finally, this year as I was searching online, I came across this website and ordered the small bag of the mushroom popcorn. The first couple of times I tried to make it, it was just okay, but I knew that my "popper" was not the right size. So I recently purchased a hand stir popper and that made a huge difference, this is the BEST popcorn ever!!! Thanks for all the tips and the great product!!! |

i got the mushroom popcorn connection thru the 'sweet savory life' website (great site) while looking for kettle corn recipes.
i made the k-corn with Orville's corn... a great success & concurrently i ordered some mushroom corn that was recommended thru the ssl site. it arrived quickly in 4 days (yeah!). it's a little pricey, but, it's special and still cheaper than potato chips.
my first 2 try's following the recipe were awlful!
i pop on a stove in a wok,so, i ajusted the recipe to my technique and the result was GREAT!! the mushroom kernels are a treat and showy. |

I pop it in an air popper, so it doesn't get quite as big as the pictures, but the puffed parts are the size of marbles and delicious (after I spray on some olive oil and sprinkle some white cheddar popcorn seasoning).

After extolling the virtues of this wonderful popcorn and offering some sage advice, the system informed me of the 500-character limit! That's hardly adequate to describe the appearance, taste & performance of this corn!

Big pop, great flavor. I use them to make kettle corn and it's absolutely delicious. I've only had the bag for about a week and it's already half gone. I'll definitely be ordering a bigger supply soon. There are a lot of hulls, but because of the way the corn pops, it's pretty easy to brush them off before you put it in your mouth if it bothers you.

This popcorn is delicious, way better than that stuff you buy in a box, however, I was surprised to see that not all the kernels popped in a mushroom shape as I expected.
[Just Poppin's Tips: Mushroom Popcorn requires higher temps than other popcorn varieties to achieve the mushroom shape. The percentage of mushroom kernels depends on the popping method used.
Microwave = few mushroom kernels (not great for Mushroom Popcorn)
Stovetop = more mushroom kernels (make sure your oil is hot first. >Video)
Hot Air Popper = most mushroom kernels (pre-heat your air popper)
Please follow our instructions for each method as outlined in the Popping Tip Sheet included in every package.] |

The best oil has a high smoke point, and that oil is rice husk oil (see Amazon). Preheat a heavy, tall pan until you can feel the bottom very warm, then add oil and 2-3 kernels. When they pop, wait 15-30 seconds additional time and slowly add the rest of the popcorn. Cover with a ventilated cover to let the steam escape. Remove from high heat when the popping slows down noticeably. Rice husk oil is very neutral in flavor, so you may prefer to add butter. |

I have only made one batch of the corn and used it to try out the "kettle corn" flavor packet. I would not recommend that stuff all it did was burn! Ruined the whole batch and I tried to follow the recipe to the letter. A pan hot enough to pop corn will burn that caramel stuff. Now, I will use the mushroom corn to make Caramel Corn. Should work fine, I hope I get more mushroom shaped kernals than I did the first time. Only about 50% popped true. The corn is fine..the flavoring..no so much.
[Just Poppin's Tips: The "kettle korn flavor packet" was a Redi Glaze Caramel Coating sample packet. Please note that any of our Redi Glaze flavors should only be used if you have a Whirley Style Stove Top Popper or Stir Crazy Popper.
