Arrowhead Mills Organic Yellow Popcorn, 28 oz BagUSDA Organic

Appreciate the certification by GFCO. Popcorn itself seems to be high quality/popability

I'm a self-professed popcorn junkie, and am pretty much addicted to the stuff. Over the years, I've tried a lot of different popcorn; from microwave popcorn, to air-popped. A little over a year ago, I happened across the "Wabash Valley Farms 25008 Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper" here on Amazon. Very cool gadget, let me tell ya! Since then, I've been on a quest for the perfect popcorn to compliment the Whirley Pop. As I get older, I'm beginning to appreciate the more "natural" popcorn varieties, and I suppose that's what attracted me to the Arrowhead Mills Organic Yellow Popcorn.I'm no "organic" food expert. I just wanted some good tasting popcorn. And, I feel like that's what I got. Using the Whirley Pop, with a very small amount of oil, I've had great results. I was concerned by some of the reviews stating they were seeing a substantial number of unpopped kernels. This hasn't been my experience to-date. I'd say the pop-rate is on par or better than any other variety of corn I've tried.As for taste, it tastes like what you'd think "plain" popcorn should taste like. Light, fluffy, and very good. I think, perhaps, a lot of folks associate "natural" popcorn with air-popped popcorn, and I don't know that that's a fair comparison. Air-popped popcorn has always tasted sort of...rubbery, to me. Using the Whirly-pop, you still get that great popcorn "CRUNCH", but without the extra fat, salt, and who know's what is added to microwave popcorns.Perhaps that's the beauty of Arrowhead Mills popcorn. All natural out of the box. The sky is the limit when it comes to "fancying" it up. Want butter, and salt? No problem! Prefer your popcorn plain? Easy as pie. The point is, you are in total control of what, if anything, is added to your popcorn. As someone who likes to occasionally indulge in some *real* butter on my popcorn, this is a nice change of pace as compared to the sickly "butter" that many big-name manufactures use.Give this stuff a try. For the money, I think it's a good, healthy choice.

This Arrowhead Mills Organic Yellow Popcorn is a great buy and is top-of-the-line, terrific popcorn! I love it. Plus..... it is ORGANIC!The instructions said that, if it doesn't pop very well, put it in the refrigerator for a couple of days in order to add moister to the kernels. So..... I figured, what the heck, and I put a bag of popcorn into the refrig. I don't know how much it helped, or didn't help, but the results were great!It is so tasty that I often eat it without salting it, or without adding butter or any other flavoring. It is that good!Update: May 3, 2012; I've ordered this organic popping popcorn time after time and each time it has been top quality. Pops full, tasty and crisp. The recent negative comments do make me a little cautious, but I am ordering it again today. Hopefully, when I get it, it will be the same high quality, tasty popcorn that I am used to getting.Update: May 8, 2012; Got the popcorn yesterday. Same great popcorn! Pops fluffy and crispy. At the end of popping, there are a few unpopped kernels. So, I empty the popped popcorn and then put the popper back in the microwave and pop the remaining kernels for another 45 seconds, which just about pops all the remaining kernels.

We purchased this popcorn for our theater style popper. Even though some of the reviews said it isn't as fluffy as regular popcorn, and that they experienced unpopped kernels in theater style poppers, we purchased it anyway. We found that it isn't as fluffy and large as some specialty popcorns that have been developed for theater poppers, but it also hasn't been genetically modified (GMO). We think this is a more important consideration that the size of the popped corn, so we are OK with normal sized popcorn. As for the taste of the popcorn, it is delicious, and we are able to prepare it with organic clarified butter and salt for a very awesome movie theater taste (without the movie theater GMO, hydrogenated oils, extreme salt/MSG). Our theater style popper is an 8 ounce unit that we have found pops this corn very well if we pop it in 6 ounce batches or smaller. When we try to pop 8 ounces, we get many unpopped kernels. When we pop 6 ounces or less, we only get about 8 or ten unpopped kernels. We don't know if this is due to the popper or the corn. We haven't popped this corn on the stove in a pan yet, but if we do we will post an update to this review. All in all, we love this popcorn!

This is the second time I have ordered this popcorm from Amazon and my wife and I really love it. As you may know, corn in general is LOADED with pesticides.In addition, Monsanto is destroying the world with their GMO products which makes their corn resistant to the pesticide (also made by Monsanto) called Round-up. So once their corn is planted, it can be drenched in Round-up to kill the weeds and the corn still grows. I don't want to be consuming Round-up when I eat. Nice huh? Sorry for the sidetrack. Just sayin. My point is, it was critical for me that the popcorn be organic for me to even eat any corn period. This popcorn is not only delicious, it is at an outstanding price of less than $1.45 a pound. With this purchase, you get 10.5 pounds of popcorn. I couldn't find a cheaper organic popcorn than this one. If somebody does, please contact me. Once last thing, use Organic Coconut Oil if you want an extra healthy treat. Coconut oil handles the high heat necessary in making popcorn and is also extremely healthy for you. Tastes great. Don't even need butter.
