Fireworks Organic Popcorn Kernels - Red River Valley Gourmet Heirloom - 6 Bottles (15 oz Each) - For Popcorn Makers, Stovetop, or Air Popper - Non-GMO, Natural Snack

I ordered two types of popcorn at one time. One, J&D's BaconPop, the other Fireworks Red River Valley. J&D's BaconPop has to be the worst bag popcorn I have ever tasted. I can even eat burnt popcorn but I cannot eat this stuff. The other five boxes will be donated to unsuspecting co-workers. Red River Valley. Arrived promptly, well packaged. The first night I popped some, I knew I would be popping a second batch. I never knew popcorn could taste this good. RRV pops up small. Tiny. I thought six containers would last a long time but I popped 1/4th of the first bottle with the first popping. So, compared to other popcorns, this stuff and its siblings is rather expensive for popcorn. However, I like it so much, I will not think twice about reordering. I have ordered several food products from Amazon lately and this has been the best surprise by far. Great popcorn. ================== After a year, almost everyone that has eaten some of this popcorn states it is some of the best they have ever eaten. I eat it frequently. I have tried several recipes but my favorite is cooking with bacon grease and using Cajun spices with Louisiana Hot Sauce. The unpopped kernels taste great and I make sure I have plenty of those. It takes a lot of this popcorn to make a big batch because it is smaller. This also makes a great gift item. If we do a food basket, I repackage in decorative jars.

Not sure why this variety is even sold, it has no redeeming value. Small, lot of dark husk taste, heavy. Taste? Meh.

My family has used a Whirly-Pop popper for several years and was happy w/ plain "Jolly Time" popcorn from our local grocery store. Over the last 6 months or so we've had more and more of a problem with hulls and "old maids". Our view was the popcorn quality had diminished and the only other choice at the local stores is Orvil Redenbacher, so I looked at Amazon. We are very pleased with both types of Fireworks Popcorn that I ordered (White Birch and Red River). White Birch is a slight favorite in our house, but both are much better than "Jolly Time". Hardly any hulls and only a couple of unpopped kernals. We are eating popcorn about every other day now as opposed to once a week, so the minimum order isn't too large a quanity. There is a subtle difference in taste and we are looking forward to trying other varieties. I highly recommend this product and will be ordering more in the near future. I just wish the variety packs were offered with free shipping too. Oh well.

Package arrived on time, packaged up very nice with no damage. We had gotten a sample pack of Fireworks popcorn a few Christmas's ago with lots of different flavors to try and this was mine and my Dad's very favorite - for us popcorn conisuer's, the flavor is the best we've tasted yet & the red hulls are cool, and you won't break your teeth on any hulls either. And now this is the popcorn we always keep on hand for those Sunday night popcorn & a sandwich dinner's, or popcorn at the cabin! It's Delicious!!!

My family and I love popcorn and are always looking for new and exciting types. This one did not live up to our expectations. The husks are quite large and when I poured it out of the pan they were everywhere. The kernels were okay, not light or fluffy and did not have the best flavor. Maybe we received some that were stale. If you are looking for truly great popcorn, buy Amish small kernels. Really tasty.

This red popcorn pops well in a cheap air popper. It pops with fewer un popped kernels and tastes better than an organic standard brand. The only reason for the lack of a fifth star is likely because I am preparing in an air rather than an oil popper, so it is not quite as crunchy as I would like. It is worth the premium.

Waaaaay too many duds...like a 1/4 to a 1/3. When they pop, they are heavy and don't come out well out of the air popper even though they are small when popped. When they pop, many of them are half size or "half popped." If I didn't know better I would believe this to be very old popcorn. That said, I purchased about 1 month ago and the expiration on the bottle is 2015. Something is wrong with this picture. I purchased the white birch and those were great, so I thought I would try a different kind and I am really disappointed in this red river popcorn. When you pay a premium for popcorn to be really good and it is worse than the 1.69 for a 2 pound bag from the grocery store, you really feel ripped off. I think the Fireworks should anty up and refund me or send me a new fresh batch. Do not buy this product! UPDATE: I spoke to someone at Fireworks and she said that ***Orchard Blossom, Sunset Fire and Wis. White Birch*** are best for air poppers. All others really work best when popped in oil. This should be put in the description of the popcorns. I have upgraded my 1 star to 3 to be more neutral about this variety. I would assume that it is good if popped in oil, which I have not or do not do. Also, she graciously sent me a variety of the 3 that works best in air poppers.

Love this popcorn for those who want real popcorn (not bagged)!
