Arrowhead Mills Organic Yellow Popcorn, 28 oz Bag

Black spots on 30% of the seeds. It is not the best quality. We have tried other brands that are Organic and none GMO that were much better and clean. All the packages we got in this order have the same problem. We didn't know for sure its bugs that grew in it or kind of dirt. Pretty freaky.

Far far better than your average microwave popcorn. So crispy and crunchy you will never go back.. I do pop this in a glass bowl with a glass lid for 5 min in the microwave. I use two table spoons popcorn and make sure that the olive oil is enought to cover the bottom of the bowl, about 1 tablespoon. After it is done I drizzle more olive oil over it, add salt and pepper. It is perfect.Note: If you use this approach the bowl will be very hot. Make sure to use oven mitts when removing it from the microwave.

I spent $20 for this product and I will throw all six bags out. The popcorn did not pop well, it tastes stale, and it is hard and difficult to chew. I have been a popcorn addict since the age of 12 when I used to watch American Bandstand with a huge bowl of popcorn. I am now in my 70's and a lifelong popcorn eater. I will not be buying this product again.

I bought the bulk 6-pack to have popcorn in the pantry. Sadly, this item's expiration date is in 6 months. Perhaps my fault, but I really was expecting dried corn to stay good for at least a year. 6 months? - how long has this been sitting on shelves at Arrowhead and Amazon? Ordered the yellow grits the same day, their expiration is less than 5 months. While I liked Arrowhead products in the past, I'm going to try different suppliers next time.

I grabbed a few bags of this for the Covid lock down and I have to say it was a bit of a disappointment. At the time I was just happy to have popcorn to make in my whirly pop, but this particular one just ends up being dense and not very fluffy. I tried different temperatures and it just never got better.I went back to buying bulk bin organic popping corn from Sprouts and that stuff is much better and cheaper.

I have subscribed to automatic delivery every three months after going through the first order in record popcorn eating time. I abhor the smell of microwave popcorn since the popcorn production plants were forced (rightfully so) to change their butter flavor formula after an ingredient was found responsible for health problems in popcorn plant workers. That all unfolded in the 2000's and presumably micro-popcorn is safe, but eeyew!, what a stink. So back to old fashioned popping on the stove top. Since the jarred popcorn at the grocery store are ridiculously priced and are not organic, I needed a fix. This popcorn has flavor and pop's great (so far. . .I believe other reviewers who have had problems with freshness. Sooner or later, someone gets the junk from the bottom of the tank or back of the truck). I've had to learn how to make this (much higher heat than I would have thought, and don't skimp too much on the oil because of the fat), but I've got it down now. Oh, and I also learned how to make it in the micro using lunch size paper bags. I squirt a quick spray of oil canola in the bag, put in about a 1/4 cup corn kernels, roll the edge about three times and cook it on high for about three minutes. I don't have children in the house but it's got to be safer than letting make it on a burner, especially when you're not watching. The yield isn't as high as on the stove top, but my built-in microwave oven surprisingly lacks some wattage. I no longer have an electric popcorn maker, since I'm burned out on one use appliances cluttering up the kitchen, At the rate I go through popcorn, I may give in, but I hate washing the darn things. Oh, heck, who enjoys washing almost anything, it's just what has to be done.

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 get the yellow popcorn - 6 bags at a time. This is by far the best organic popcorn we have ever tried. We used to use one that was a bit less expensive, but we use 1/2 as much of the Arrowhead mills, so it comes out to be less expensive. We eat about two poppings (1/2 cup each) at a time. We eat this treat 2-3 times a week. We use the stove top popper with the turn handle and organic coconut oil. After popping, I add sea salt and an organic cheese seasoning. This is a real "no guilt" treat.
