Concession Essentials Gourmet 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 🤩🤩🤩🤩

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!

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.

Good tasting large mushroom popcorn. Air popped kept it crunchy. If you don't like the kernel husks in between your teeth be prepared to eat one piece at a time after removing them.

I used to go to the movies all the time, but since Covid I watch a lot more movies at home. I really missed that fresh movie theater popcorn, and the microwave bags always left a terrible aftertaste and greasy mouthfeel. These Concession Essentials kernels are a total game changer. They pop up light, puffy, and crisp with amazing flavor. I love that I can pop them in olive oil, skip all the junk, and they still taste even better than what I used to get at the theater. This has definitely made my home movie nights feel extra special again. Highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded. I received on time, thanks for that. I do not expert With this product, it's the first time I make this type of popcorn, definitely what if it's not the first time is that I try them and neither texture nor shape the mushroom style. Anyway, the product is good.

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 popcorn pops really well with minimal unpopped kernels. I used a little less than 1/4 cup, and it filled the bowl with fluffy, round mushroom-style popcorn. The shape holds up well if you want to add seasoning or coating. It’s non-GMO, gluten-free, and clean tasting. If you’re a popcorn lover or just want something that tastes way better than microwave bags, this is a must-try. I’ll definitely be buying this again!
