Mushroom Popcorn, 14oz

What it's good for:

These are unpopped kernels — you pop them yourself at home on the stovetop or in an air popper.

The mushroom shape is the whole point. Unlike the butterfly-shaped popcorn most people are used to, mushroom kernels pop into a round, compact ball that holds up to coatings without crumbling. Making caramel corn at home? This is the kernel to use. Want to toss popcorn in chocolate, a spice blend, or a glaze? Mushroom variety will hold it better than anything else.

To get the most mushroom-shaped results, pop at a slightly higher temperature than you normally would. It still works fine with standard stovetop or air popper methods — higher heat just gives you a better yield of the round shape.

Here's what you're getting:

Amish Country Popcorn mushroom variety kernels. Non-GMO, preservative free, dye free. Larger and crunchier than hulless varieties like Baby White or Ladyfinger, and better suited for coatings and recipes. The hull stays more intact after popping, which is what creates the round shape and the crunch.

How you store it:

Keep in a cool, dry place. Unpopped kernels stay good for up to a year. Avoid moisture, which affects how well they pop.
