Gourmet Popcorn Kernels, Original Yellow, 8 lb.

I keep buying the same popcorn over and over. I love to try different things, but Orville Redenbacher's product has me hooked. Can't beat it on price and it is always the freshest. Sometimes I put butter in the hot air popper and then it is even better. Honey is enjoyable and just having fun with spices like Mesquite on it is fun. The texture is second to none so there is no competition. Just a great product at a great value.

My husband and I are huge popcorn people, and we almost always make it on the stovetop—so this has become a staple in our house. We started with a smaller container, but realized pretty quickly how often we were going through it, so upgrading to the larger size just made sense. The quality is great—super clean, natural popcorn taste, and it pops really well with minimal unpopped kernels. It gives you that classic, fresh stovetop popcorn flavor that’s way better than microwave options. If you like making your popcorn the old-school way and want something reliable and worth the price, this is definitely the one. We’ve been repurchasing it nonstop.

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!

Delicious! Bigger than I expected. The packaging is very nice and appearance is appetite catching. The texture and popping of the kernels are top tier. The popcorn itself is compatible with coconut oil, butter, or popcorn oil.

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.

This popcorn is the very best I’ve found. I ordered a large supply of “organic” popcorn that wouldn’t pop correctly and left a lot of unpopped and burnt kernels. I’m so glad I’ve returned to this Orville Redenbacher popcorn. It’s real corn, Non-GMO verified. It pops up beautifully and gets rave reviews from my family. It’s fluffy and crisp, tastes delicious and leaves very few hulls and unpopped kernels. The photo is what I just popped a few minutes ago and all I did was take the lid off the pan and snap the pic. Outstanding.

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!

Very good quality popcorn and I like the large amount that comes in the bottle. Pops well in microwave, on the stove in a skillet, or in a popper.

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
