Gourmet Popcorn Kernels, Original Yellow, 8 lb.

Popcorn is a staple in our house. We eat it almost daily, so buying this eight-pound jug of Orville Redenbacher's made perfect sense. It's a great combination of quality, quantity, and value from a name I've long associated with good popcorn. My husband and I are both fitness professionals, and we pay attention to our portions, carbohydrates, and overall calories. We still want snacks we actually enjoy, though! Popcorn fits nicely into that balance for us, and I appreciate the fiber it provides. Making it ourselves also lets us decide what goes on it and how much. Sometimes we add cheddar cheese powder for homemade cheese popcorn. Other times we use cayenne pepper or Cajun seasoning to give it a little kick. Being able to change up the flavors keeps a familiar snack interesting, and we don't get tired of it. For a household that goes through popcorn as often as ours does, this bulk size is a practical pantry purchase. We've been very happy with it, and it's an easy recommendation from me. Five stars.

Yummy ! This is great popcorn. I have used it in my microwave popcorn maker and also my popcorn machine on the counter. It tastes good and most importantly most kernels popped. I would get this product again .

After all this time I still haven't used all of it. It is good quality the kernels look and smell fresh even though I purchased this some time ago. I might end up with three or four unpopped kernels but that is a lot better than other brands I have tried. It is exactly what I expected from this brand of popcorn. Good quality , good flavor, and lasts a long time when kept tightly closed.

Before I stumbled on this behemoth (and bought it 2 soon to be 3 times now),I didn't know having the option to buy 8 lbs of popcorn was even a thing,but I love that it is (thanks adulthood!) The quality of the kernels has always been good and makes a tasty snack,but the one thing I will say is,the popcorn turns out much better (in my opinion) using a hot air popper like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IUWA?th=1 (The Presto 04820 Poplite Hot Air Popcorn Popper,if the link doesn't work.) then one that goes in the microwave like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004W4UP (The Nordic Ware Microwave Popcorn Popper,if the link doesn't work.) I own both of these and always go back to using the hot air popper over the microwave,it makes fluffy flawless popcorn every time,there's a reason this style of popper has been around since the late 70's,because it works,the microwave popper,not so much,I mean unless you like your popcorn dry and crispy with burnt notes,don't waste good popcorn on bad equipment. The jug is pretty heavy when it's full,so if you can't lift heavy things (like me),I suggest putting the popcorn in a smaller container (I use a mason jar with a screw lid),and just refill that when it gets low,instead of hauling out the entire jug (I use the smallest scoop from this set: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XC5RKKN?th=1 for refilling - The 3 in 1 Ice Scoop Set, Multi Purpose Plastic Kitchen Scoops,if the link doesn't work) it makes life so much easier,work smarter not harder,as they say. If you love popcorn,and want lots of it,I'd definitely recommend buying it this way,it's a much better deal then what you get in the stores with the bags and jars (the biggest one my local stores carry is 30 oz for around $7.50,although,I did see a different brand with a 60 oz container for around $9.49,so make of that what you will.) I still say you can't go wrong with 8 lbs of popcorn though,as long as they keep making it,I'll keep buying it!

It tastes good. I compared with two other brands, this one tastes better than the others but the issue is the kernels are a little too small so it’s doesn’t work well with my machine very well because it blows the kernels out all the time.

I love this popcorn. I have a big 8oz popper and we do large batches in that just fine, not too bad on old maids. the microwave glass popper makes a good sized bowl for the two of us and they come out really nice. this popcorn does have some hulls to it but not too bad compared to other brands. it has a fresh crunch to it, that fluffy but good bite feel if you know what I mean. it tastes great and I pop with organic coconut oil and them put a bit of sea salt on top. if there is left over the next day, i still eat that! the flavor is just right. I used to be a movie theater popcorn fanatic, but as i got older i like to control what i eat more. this is on my subscribe and save. if you eat a lot of popcorn you need this size.

If you’re a popcorn lover, you need to try Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popcorn Kernels! After making several batches, I can confidently say they’re the best kernels I’ve used. Here’s why they’ve earned a solid 5-star rating: 1. Perfect Pop Every Time: These Orville Redenbacher kernels pop beautifully, with minimal unpopped kernels left at the bottom of the bowl. The Original Yellow variety expands to a fluffy, light texture, and each kernel pops to its full potential. The popping ratio is excellent, which makes it feel like you’re getting a lot more popcorn for your money. You won’t be disappointed with how it turns out! 2. Fluffy and Tender: The popcorn is incredibly fluffy and light—just the way I like it! The kernels pop up to a perfect size, and the texture is airy and tender, not chewy or tough like some other brands. The popcorn is satisfying without being heavy, making it the ideal snack for movie nights, parties, or even just a snack during the day. 3. Great Flavor: Orville Redenbacher’s Original Yellow kernels have the perfect mild, nutty flavor. It’s not too overpowering, and it pairs well with butter, salt, or any seasoning you want to add. I’ve tried it with different seasonings, and each time, it enhances the popcorn flavor without masking it. 4. Convenient and Economical: At 8 lbs, this bag of kernels is a great value for the price. It’s perfect for families or anyone who regularly enjoys popcorn. I love that I can make a big batch for a family movie night or portion it out for multiple snacks over time. The resealable bag keeps the kernels fresh, so you don’t have to worry about them going stale quickly. 5. Healthier Option: Since these are just plain kernels, I feel good about making popcorn at home rather than buying pre-made bags filled with butter and artificial flavorings. You get to control how much butter, salt, or seasoning goes into your popcorn, making it a much healthier snack option. 6. Easy to Pop: I usually make mine in a stovetop popcorn popper, and these kernels work wonderfully. They heat up evenly, pop efficiently, and the process is mess-free. They also pop perfectly in an air popper or microwave, making them versatile for any popcorn-making method. 7. Kid-Friendly: My kids absolutely love this popcorn! They’ve even started helping me make it, which is a fun family activity. It’s also a great snack for school or weekend parties. We’ve made popcorn garlands for Christmas, and Orville Redenbacher kernels are the perfect size for stringing! Final Thoughts: I’m a big fan of Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popcorn Kernels, and after trying many other brands, I’ve found this to be my favorite. The popping quality, flavor, and value for money make it an easy choice for anyone who loves a good bowl of popcorn. Whether you’re watching movies, having a snack, or making popcorn for parties, this is a must-have. 🍿 Highly recommend to all popcorn lovers! You won’t regret it!

Popcorn is my favorite snack, and I have been purchasing these original kernels in this size for years. I have tried several other brands, but none of them have been as consistent. Just about every kernel pops, and I am rarely left with a large amount of unpopped or burned kernels at the bottom of the pan. The popcorn always comes out fluffy and delicious. Other brands I have tried tend to burn quickly while still leaving quite a few kernels unpopped, so I always come back to these. I usually cook my popcorn on the stove. I recently switched from using a pot to a pan because less condensation collects on the lid and drips onto the popcorn, which helps keep it from becoming soggy. The large 8 pound container lasts a long time and is more economical for someone who eats popcorn regularly. Every time I open a new container, it is filled all the way to the top rather than having a lot of empty space inside. This has been my trusted choice for years, and I have no reason to switch.

Love this popcorn. I purchased a cheaper one prior to this. What a mistake. I was much better off spending a little more for great popcorn. Recommend this any day.

Recomendable

Very happy with the quantity for the price. The container is nice with more than enough hand room. As for the quality of the kernels themselves.... Very impressed with what I got. I'd say it's even better than bagged microwave popcorn. More kernels pop. They don't easily scorch (I can put it in for 3:30 without it tasting off, while bagged versions scorch around 3:20 in, with more than quarter tasting off at 3:30). There isn't much "shell" after it pops, leaving you with more of the crispy+fluffy white outer layer. It seems sweeter than other brands, which I am not used to. It's definitely pleasant, but at the same time not what I grew up with. IMO the sweetness blends very well when you add salt and butter and becomes even more addictive than if you were using another type of popcorn. It seems to hold okay with salt and butter, perhaps just a tad slippery/silkier than what I am used to, but I find the touch of it very enjoyable, way better than any kernel I ever touched. It is on the fragile side, so I haven't made caramel version with it yet, mostly out of fear of having too many crumbs. I am sure with glazes it would be fine, but I just don't have any to test it out. Overall, this is an amazing, premium product. I highly recommend giving it a try even if you are a bit hesitant of its mild sweetness as reported in other (and my) reviews. It's very slight. You only notice it because it's not the same as the popcorn you probably had +1,000 times already. I can see myself getting used to it to the point of not noticing anymore.

って書いてあるレビューをみて購入。 本当でした。 確かに大きい！気のせいではない。笑 味もおいしい良いポップコーンです。 NON-GMO（遺伝子組み換えではない）と表記されているラベルにも安心感◎ 少しのバターとハーブソルトで作る温かい出来立てポップコーンが大好きでよく作るのですが 大容量なので永遠くらいにありそう。 こんな大量に買って美味しくなかったらどうしよう？っていう心配してる人にはおすすめします。 食べ切れるかどうかだけ心配しよう笑 気に入ったのでなくなったらリピすると思います 2年くらい先になりそうだけど。笑

Great standard popcorn, very few unpopped kernels
