All Natural Popping Corn Yellow Kernels - 45oz - Market Pantry™

There were little grubs/worms in these kernels.

I was glad to find this "old fashioned popcorn that can be cooked in a pan on the stove. Good price. Great for snacks.

I have experience with various popcorn kernel brands, ranging from budget-friendly options to well-known and store-branded products. However, this particular purchase has been an extremely disappointing experience and leaves a burnt taste in my mouth. Pun intended. I must state that these are, without a doubt, the lowest quality kernels I have ever purchased. Specifically, I have the following issues: 1. The kernels simply do not pop adequately, even when cooked using different types of oil and following proper cooking methods. 2. The popped kernels have a peculiar taste – they are simultaneously stale and oddly soft (not crunchy like popcorn), which is very unappetizing. 3. Within the same batch, roughly half of the kernels fail to pop at all, while the portion that does pop has an unpalatable, almost rancid flavor. 4. The entire popping process is slow and inefficient; it takes an extraordinarily long time for the kernels to pop, and the overall popping yield is very poor. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if these were accidentally 20 years old and this wasn't my first purchase. I sincerely hope that Target will address this quality issue and implement improvements to their popcorn kernel products in the future because it's almost unfathomable how terrible popcorn can be with the wrong ingredients (beginning with the kernels).

As good as the more expensive popping corn

Packages arrived damaged again

Easy to make. Simple nothing fancy good.

Good popping corn. Reasonable price. We use in air popper. Always good!

Very disappointing. Kernels do not fully pop and taste stale. Be careful or you could break a tooth!! Will never buy again. -10 is better score

Unfortunately, the order arrived in poor condition. The packages were opened and leaked inside the box. One popcorn box and one Cheetos box were

Bag of popcorn arrived with a big hole in bag. Popcorn kernels were all over the box that it arrived in. Very disappointed

Denser than I want

Great popcorn!

Hmmm. Kind of a mixed bag here. The product is sold in a chock full, heavy, resealable plastic bag. Pros - *Large* kernels. - *Vigorous* popping. - Seems to tastes as good as, if not a tad better than, Jolly Pop and W's GV house brand. Cons - Pops so vigorously that about 40% of the as-yet-unpopped kernels were kicked out of the heating chamber in a hot air popper. When unpopped kernels were placed in the popper for a second try, about 90% popped. Tear strip operation is a bit unpredictable. Remove it with scissors. Great choice for pan popping (with cooking oil). Not quite as suitable for hot air popping.

What are those! And they’re hard when you bite down on them. Unpleasant. Would not buy again

Bought these and first time I pooped them they were stale. Bag was sealed and brand new. Not sure what happened here but not buying these again. I think they may be fake corn kernels. Going to buy organic next time.

Horrible quality. Not light or fluffy. Hard. Almost stale. The worst kernel corn I’ve ever bought.

Stale! I tried popping in air popper no oil and pan with oil. It’s terrible. Stale even though the date of freshness is a year away.

My batch was trash. Nearly burnt the popcorn before it popped. Nearly all popcorn kernels were burnt.

Fluffy popcorn, I made the serving size on the stove and had a big pot of fluffy popcorn. Popped about every single kernel and if I had left it on the stove longer the couple of kernels that didn’t pop would have. Better than the name brand popcorn like Oroville Redenbacker. I was pleasantly surprised how good it tasted and I would purchase Market Pantry over Oroville any day no comparison. It’s what homemade popcorn should taste like. No need to wait for movie night. Perfect snack anytime.

Almost all kernels popped, great value. Other reviews with burned popcorn and unpopped kernels probably used too little oil or too much heat.
