Popcorn Kernels, Gourmet Popping Corn for Air Popper Machine or Stovetop, Select White Pop Corn, 30 Ounce (Pack of 6)

Let me begin by attempting to express how much I love popcorn. Do you have a few hours to read one review? No? Well, I should probably just give it up now, because trying to accurately articulate my adoration for this snack will certainly use more than my allotted amount of words. Let’s just say that it is my favorite food, not just my favorite snack. I eat it pretty much daily (I would lose the “pretty much,” but since I cannot easily regulate my serving size with this snack, I have stopped making it daily to shed a little weight) and over the years I have tried many, many brands and popped them in dozens of devices, including Whirly-Pop contraptions, old-school plug-in poppers with the yellow bowl, the Stir-Crazy, and good ol’ pots with lids (yes, I’ve used hot air poppers and yes I hate hot-air popcorn because popcorn needs to be popped in oil or why bother). 18 years ago for my 40th birthday I finally sprung for a commercial popcorn popper (you know, the boxy contraption like at the movie theater but sized for a convenience store) and it lives in my kitchen and it pops the most perfect popcorn and life is good. Except when I encounter popcorn in the wild, which is not often enough, I only want white popcorn, as opposed to yellow. Most popcorn is the yellow kind, and while it pops up bigger, I prefer the tender kernels of white popcorn when I make it at home. For the longest time, I was perfectly happy with the grocery store brand of white kernels, but then I started springing for Orville's white and I could tell it was definitely superior, but never, ever, ever on sale, which gave me a sadz. (Fast forward through a bunch of life events having zero to do with popcorn that you don't want to read. I promise you.) All was well until I found gourmet popcorn on this site and spend several months trying multiple brands at pretty ridiculous per-pound prices. I mean, the popcorn was really delicious, but it was starting to hit me in the budget. The Amish make some damn fine popcorn, if you want the skinny. I'm not a fan of their puppymilling practices, though. But I digress. So I took a chance on this Jolly Time Select White, and folks, Imma stick with it. It's as good as the gourmet stuff and costs less. I pop it in refined coconut oil (refined because I don't want my popcorn tasting like a Mounds bar, sorry) and add some butter (if you want) and popcorn salt after it's done. SUPREMO. Eat it. Also, do not buy puppies from pet stores, ever. Just don't.

Thank you! This is my favorite popcorn. It pops well, it’s big and fluffy, and flavorful. The hulls hardly gauge out my teeth and cut up my gums in comparison to any other brand I have tried. Thanks so much. Great seller and great product.

Great product extremely good taste and less hulls than any that I have used. Pops very good in my microwave popper with or with out oil.

One of the best popcorn kernels to pop.

Very good popcorn!!!

I finally figured out how to cook it the right way! This popcorn popped into nice big unsoggy, unchewy crunchy crispy kernels. I don't care if it tastes like movie popcorn as long as it's big and crunchy. So I used a thin bottom pot on medium heat with a very light slick of oil. I put in four kernels, and when they started to pop, which took a few minutes, I poured in the rest - 1/3 cup. And then I shook it now and then but not all the time, because it takes a second to get up to the right heat. Oh, by the way I used a very deep pot used for steaming couscous! Anyhow, it worked great and because I didn't use a lot of oil, a lot of steam was not generated. Steam makes the popcorn chewy - yuck. So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Jolly Time was fresh and popped bigger than Orville's

Best pop corn for the money. I love popcorn and eat it every day instead of potato chips. It's a lot more satisfying. I use this brand in an air popper and it comes out great. Then I add olive oil and seas salt. So good.

If you’re an old fashioned popcorn maker this is the best! I like white popcorn but it can sometimes be small and have a lot of kernels. Not this one! It pops nice and big, it’s packaged for freshness, and my family and I love it!
