Black Jewell Popcorn Kernels 15 Ounces 15 Ounce (Pack of 4)

We LOVE this popcorn! Yes, it's true the original black version blows out of the air popper because the kernels are so light. We spent $10 and got a microwave silicone popper with a lid and the issue was fixed. There aren't many unpopped kernels using this method. Unlike regular unpopped popcorn, the kernels that are left are small and nutty tasting and can be eaten without problem. I will never buy anything else but Black Jewell popcorn, more specifically the original black. This year for Christmas, I'm buying it for friends along with this popper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9Q2OJ4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

great popcorn, fun all around for the kiddos too! We all love making it and eating it!

Good popcorn but tastes like most others. It is nice and crunchy, not chewy or mushy. Bought the variety pack. Pops well with few kernels left unpopped. Using a silicone microwave popper

This popcorn is delicious. Every kernel pops. I was going to use it as a stocking stuffer but I may have to buy another package.

The Native Mix variety bottle of this pack was the best. One kind in the mix popped up in large kernals with a golden color. It was truly hulless, tasted great. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have a specific name, nor does it seem to be available alone. The white was ok. Quite a few unpopped kernals blew out of the popper. The black was a waste of money. So many unpopped kernals blew out of the popper, all over the place, that I turned the popper off and dumped the contents in the garbage. Maybe a different popping method would work better for this variety, but they are all supposed to work in an air popper. If I could send back the black by itself, I would. The variety pack was a good idea to try the different kinds, but I will probably just buy the Native Mix from here on out. The kernals were not quite hulless, but much more so than any other type of popcorn I've tried. It made great caramel corn.

Update: This popcorn pops best for me in the hot air popper I just purchased. Updated the vendor who had already kindly replaced my older kernels. Happy now. Tried all four multiple times. All were very poor in my microwave popper. Less than half of the kernels actually popped. Burned easily. Bland flavor with all four. In fact I could tell no difference between any of them. They were all equally bad.

I waited a long time to review. Kept trying different ways to pop it, small pot, large pot, air popper. None came out satisfactory in the least. I do not own a microwave. But I had tried the microwave bag type once at a friends and loved the taste and texture. So I bought these bottles of kernels to try. Do not use air popper… more kernels On floor, counter, leaving very few popped in bowl. On the stove the kernels burst, but did not pop into fluffy puffs, so you end up with hard partially burnt nuggets. Can’t use air fryer, kernels too small to stay in basket. Basically a 100% fail on some spendy kernels. The few that pop properly are tasty and tender, but hulls do abound. I think the microwave bags had less hull per kernel because they burst properly. But just my opinion. Unfortunate waste of money.

That this is a wonderful popcorn that does not leave kernels (or captain’s) in your teeth. This is a good popcorn for those of us who do not have the privilege of having good teeth😄😁!
