Mushroom popcorn kernels pop up into a beautifully large mushroom shape.
What is Mushroom Popcorn?
Mushroom popcorn kernels produce firm, round pieces of popcorn with a bit of chewiness. Mushroom popcorn is different from butterfly popcorn which is light and airy, and tends to pop into complicated shapes. Butterfly popcorn is often served in movie theaters, whereas mushroom popcorn is best suited for making kettle corn and other types of candied popcorn, since its round shape makes it ideal for coating in sugar and syrups.
Popping Instructions
Stove top directions: Preheat 3 tablespoons of oil in a deep pan on medium heat. The best oils to use have a high smoke-point (peanut oil, safflower oil, soy oil, sunflower oil, light olive oil, or coconut oil). When the oil is hot add 1/3c popcorn kernels. Put a lid on the pot and continue to move the pan, or stir the kernels, so that they do not burn. Cook for 2 1/2 min to 4 min or until the pops are 5 seconds apart.
Microwave directions: Mix 1/3 cup of popcorn with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the kernel and oil mixture to a brown paper bag. Fold over the top of the bag two times and give it a good shake. Cook for 2 1/2 minutes or until the pops are 5 seconds apart.
Oil needs to reach 400 degrees or more to achieve mushroom shape. Oil not heated to the correct temperature will produce butterfly shaped corn.
Ingredients:
Corn. Packaged in the same facility as peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, sesame, and milk products.

We eat a lot of popcorn, and I noticed the popcorn used by the kettle corn guy we see at the art fairs was different. He told me it was mushroom kernels, that was superior especially for his kettle corn. I just got this one from Nuts.com and had it for the first time tonight. It is fabulous, enough for me to get online and write this review. We use a Whirly Popper (google it) and instead of oil I use ghee, and just a bit of salt. After it's popped and dumped in a bucket I sprinkle just a small spoon of sugar and mix it up. Try it, and definitely try this kernel. NOTE - from my research on mushroom popcorn it needs a bit more heat than what an air popper or microwave provide, needs to be on the stove. All of these popped, and they are big and great texture. Enjoy.

These kernels need high heat to pop properly so you have to wait until your oil is very hot! Once you get the hang of it it is the best popping corn I have ever used!
