amazing popcorn great freshness

Excellent product! Highly recommend this product.

Really delicious popcorn. I use a little peanut oil and then salt after it's popped, so simple and so good. The ladyfinger is easy to burn and hard to hear popping so keep a close eye on it.

First of all, I thought this was great popcorn. The bags arrived just fine, and the colors of the corn are really pretty. I got red, blue and purple popcorns, exactly as shown. I bought a new silicone microwave popcorn bowl to test with this. I first popped some yellow grocery store popcorn in it so I'd know how it worked and how long to pop for. The bagged popcorns I popped before generally were for 2 1/2 minutes. I found that regular yellow corn took roughly 2:45 minutes. These popcorns took 3 to 3:15 minutes. Before this review, I popped (and ate!) roughly 1/2 of all 3 bags. I wanted to see the difference in taste between them, how long they took to pop, and how different they were from 'regular' store popcorn. Since I'm dieting, I am eating TONS of popcorn as snacks, so was happy to do lots of experimenting. Here are my observations: 1. This popcorn IS delicious. There ARE fewer hulls, and the taste is lighter and sweeter and easier to eat. 2. It takes LONGER to pop by a few seconds than the regular store yellow popcorn, using the same container, and the same amount. 3. It burns FAST when you overpop by even a few seconds. 4. You have to listen for the pops to stop, and stop it quick. In my microwave, I'm finding that it's roughly at the 3 minute to 3:10 mark. 5. There are always roughly 10% of unpopped kernels per batch, regardless of color type. 6. The time gap between the first pop to the last pop is really long compared to bag popcorn. 7. The first to pop start turning yellowish by the time the last pop, so your batch isn't evenly white That said, when it's done, it's fluffy, light, the hulls aren't as bad as yellow popcorn as advertised. Also, the kernels are softer and less chewy, as well as smaller than yellow store popcorn. After some experimentation, I discovered the best popping method for me, so here's how I do it in a silicone microwave popcorn maker. 1. I fill the popcorn to the line in the silicone for popcorn (I think it's 2 Tablespoons, but haven't measured exactly) 2. I add 1/2 a teaspoon of virgin coconut oil that's been sitting on the counter so is very soft. 3. I stir the coconut oil in with a fork, so it coats every kernel, then sprinkle top with some salt. 4. Set the microwave for 3:15 (3 minutes, 15 seconds) 5. Start listening for the popping sound to slow down to 1 pop, then open the microwave and shake the container (roughly 3:10 for all 3 types-remember, your microwave may not have the same power as mine) 6. I pour into another bowl to eat. Sometimes I add a dab of melted butter to the top (and this is omg delicious, but butter wrecks my diet) One more point. I read that moisture in the microwave makes popcorn pop more completely. So I tried rinsing out the silicone first and dumping it out, so it was damp before popping. This makes the more crunchy popcorn more 'chewy' and closer to the texture of yellow popcorn. Can't say I like it better, so I don't rinse it first. Just letting you know the results of a more humid popping environment. That said, I'm not sure if I would buy this particular set again, because I'm not seeing a huge difference between the 3 types other than having nifty color kernels. It was well worth trying, I've always been curious how different colored popcorns were different. I may try the larger size of this brand tho. It was indeed good popcorn, and I go through tons of popcorn anyway. The star off was because I didn't want to say the popcorn was PERFECT, because while it was excellent, it wasn't the best popcorn possible.

My grandson loves popcorn. But since I started buying the Amish Country Popcorn, he won't try anything else. Quality and freshness are his biggest draw.

Great popcorn and was delivered before the promised date. Popcorn is great to use for carmel popcorn stayed fluffy

Just not what we expected. Tasted just okay. Small

By the way, this 3 mix set is a very good start. My husband and I love popcorn...the best of course is the movie theater type. That type of popcorn replicated at home can be too salty or too much of everything. It should be saved for special occasion such as being at the theater or use the special Theater style pouch for the Whirly Popcorn stove top. Now back to the Amish Country Popcorn....These 3 popcorn bags are a wonderful mix of small but delicate popcorn. My husband is use to the "Bigger is Better" in popcorn. All three pop up tender with smaller than average hull (teeth and gum wise better). All pop up fast, like an explosion in my stove top pot. Very little to no un popped kernels (anything under 5 un popped kernels is good/depending on size of kernels. The first time he tasted it...he was very surprised how small they were. When I showed him the kernels...he understood the "why". Then he notice how tender it was and not chewy. I still use "Pop Secret" large white kernels and Orville R. yellow popcorn but for a change of pace...I pop these...I think it's worth it. Lady finger is cute in size and looks. The midnight blue/purple pops up very neon white with tiny flecks of the hull. Baby white is also on the small size adorable comes to mind. So far I have purchased more of the Midnight blue/purple and I vacuum sealed them with the "Food Saver" bags. This is my only complaint with this company....they really should vacuum seal their popcorn...which prevents moisture lost. I use 1 Tablespoon of cold pressed coconut oil, 1 Tablespoon of rice bran oil or 2 Tablespoon of Orville R. butter oil (Who said it has to be healthy!)......All a matter of taste to each person. Light on the Fine granules salt. The next adventure will be Mushroom popcorn....this is the biggest popping kernel on the market for home popcorn poppers...you usually find them for Kettle Corn popcorn. Shall write on that one when I open it for the next adventure. So open yourself up to trying something different. Yes, they are small but please Have FUN with eating popcorn! ENJOY! LIFE! and it's many varieties of popcorn!
