Unpopped Popcorn Kernels, Original Black, 28.35oz (Pack of 1)

I am a popcorn connoisseur, and this is by far my favorite of everything I’ve ever tried. I buy it continuously. It pops really light and small and it just has a really delicious flavor, but it’s not dense. Sometimes the purple or red varieties that I’ve tried from other brands are kind of dense. This one is just perfect every single time, but it does pop a lot smaller than traditional yellow popcorn so you have to do a little bit more volume if you want the same volume of product but it’s absolutely worth it every time!

I was looking forward to this organic popcorn but was horribly disappointed in every aspect. The popcorn was not fresh; the kernels only popped about 60%. Even of the 60%, the taste was not great. It looked good, but the taste was either chewy or not-popped. I make popcorn on the stove with avocado oil (1 tbls). I can't return the item, but I would love a refund. I wish I had the forethought to take a picture, but we ended up tossing it out. The popcorn had the traditional plastic seal around the lid. I was surprised at the poor quality given the expectation.

Love, love, love this small black popcorn. I like small hulless popcorn, so it doesn't get stuck in my teeth. My roommate in college used to bring this back to school after break, we didn't have it in our state at the time. When I found it on Amazon, I was so excited. I cook it the old fashion way, using a "Clubware" aluminum Dutch oven, put the oil (I use avocado oil) in the bottom, pour kernels in, evenly spread across the bottom in one layer, heat on high, cover. Pop and remove as soon as you don't hear any more pop. Pour in separate bowl, let cool for a little bit and corn will crisp up, season as desired. Some kernels only pop half open, these are my favorite ones, very crisp and crunchy. These are small but they don't hurt your mouth.

Here's the best comparison I can come up with to illustrate the difference between this black popcorn, and the regular popcorn you eat at movie theaters or out of a microwave bag:Think of plain old mass market wheat bread. It's smooth and uniform in texture, yes? Think now of multi-grain or oat-nut bread. It's got more bit to it; it doesn't have a uniform texture; it has more flavor, and is a bit more work to chew on. And if you like that sort of thing, plain old wheat bread is kinda bland and boring.This popcorn is like the multi-grain bread. If you like popcorn and you like a more flavorful and interesting "mouth feel", then you might enjoy this popcorn.The puffs are small, as these are small kernels. The tiny puffs are crunchy as heck because you are getting a lot of crunchy kernel in there. The corn itself tastes great, I think. And it doesn't leave those thin hulls between your tooth and gums.These are tiny kernels and they take an extra long time to pop, so be patient. I ate this stuff all the time as a kid. It's not quite like I remember it, but it suits my adult pallet well.

This is my all-time favorite popcorn. It pops into very small kernels but has a great flavor!

I will say that this is a great tasting popcorn, but only about 3/4 of it fully popped. There were numerous kernels which had split open on one side but didn’t fully develop, as well as many kernels unpopped. Also, when it did pop it was quite small, but still seemed to have the same sized “core” as any larger corn. Rather chewy. We tried it twice, and lowered the heat a bit on the second round, to no avail. We ended up feeding it to the squirrels in the back yard.

they kernels taste great but only about 60% actually pop and I have tried several ways to cook including microwave, stove and a popcorn maker. They also are very small so you have to use twice as much. Since the cost is so high I doubt I will buy again. Might try a different kernel form same company.

Small, nutty, hull-less. Not big and puffy when popped, but small and crisp. We like to let popcorn heat slowly in oil so that it gets a little toasted before turning it up to finish it off. This brings out a nutty, toasty flavor...and this corn is perfect for this slow-pop method.We found another brand of "black" corn that we liked even better than this one, but their product has changed---larger blue kernels rather that these tiny black ones. This one hasn't changed and is the best. Pricey, though.
