Paragon - Manufactured Fun Paragon Bulk Bag Yellow Corn, 50-Pound

Good quality corn, although Amazon has difficulty boxing products like this one for shipping, so 1/3 of my bag ended up on the floor of the delivery truck. I repackaged mine into air-tight gallon freezer bags that I keep away from sun, heat, and moisture, and I continue to have a near 100% popping rate a year later. I suspect this product will stay fresh at least 2-3 years if stored properly. This corn is not huge kernel, but the taste is top quality, and the texture is consistently fantastic. Pair this with Paragon Coconut Popcorn Popping Oil, and Flavacol seasoning, and you've got theatre popcorn flavor. It also pops well for me using both an air popper and a microwave popper, but I prefer the taste of the added coconut oil. It also doesn't hurt that Paragon is a small family business in Iowa that does one thing only and does it well. And the price per pound is outstanding for a product of this quality, and the taste is superior to any commercial brand. Moisture content is important for popcorn, so if yours starts to loose its oomph, put it in an airtight jar, add several drops of water, and store it in the fridge so it doesn't spoil. Within a day or so the corn will absorb the moisture, and the successful popping rate will go right back up. Only do this to as much as you know you will use up in a reasonable amount of time, and once you've added the water keep the corn refrigerated.

Ok it’s amazing will buy again, if you live popcorn this is great my kids love it pops very well we keep it in a sealed container great size and fun for movie nights

This is fantastic popcorn! It pops larger than Jolly Time brand that you get at the grocery store! I have to use a little less than 1/2 cup in my popper or it will cause problems. The taste is great! I eat popcorn very frequently and I am very satisfied with the quality and value of this popcorn. I highly recommend this popcorn. I normally do not write reviews, but I enjoy this popcorn very much and figured others might have questions about the taste, freshness, and size. I store the popcorn in gallon freezer bags and it keeps fine. The quality/quantity for the price is phenomenal!!! I have bought 50lb bags and had to pay shipping, which made the popcorn even more expensive. Amazon Prime made it free shipping, so I did not have that expense.

Fifty pounds of corn nicely packaged in a single completely open paper bag - it looks like the top of the bag was never closed. Our large bags of dog food were packaged better. Fortunately, the bag was in a box that held the corn like little marbles rattling around the interior. Some of the box had tape so only the corners leaked. We haven't tried the popping it yet, open aired moisture content may be a bit different that advertised, but spent some time regurgitating the contents into containers, Mylar bags, and storage carafes and will hope for the best. On a positive note, no dead bugs or mice were in the box so I rated the box two stars for surviving content. After I repackaged the product, I found the popcorn to be a good treat. Big kernels, good taste, and very little waste.

Pops well and tastes great

It is a very good product.

The Orville Redenbacher popcorn that I bought locally at the grocery store recently was expensive, popped hard and had a lot of unpopped kernels. I used to exclusively buy Boy Scout popcorn kernels for the value, quality and proceeds going to a good cause but there seem to be fewer Boy Scouts around and zero that I know. I saw this discount and figured, “Why don’t I make our 80 year old mail woman carry this up our front steps to leave it on my porch,” and the rest is history. You’ll want to move it into an airtight container (Sterilite 64 or 66 is a perfect fit) and make sure you get it off the porch quickly if the air is moist because the bag and box are paper/cardboard. Popped my first batch on the stove and only one unpopped kernel in a whole cup of kernels. Pops a little slower than other corn so take care not to burn it.

I've made popcorn everyday in my aluminum 1 quart pot with butter for like 6 months. I've tried Safeway, Orville, and Walmart and these are the best tasting and pops the best. All of the popcorns popped well, but there were differences in the flavor. Safeway was on sale for $2.50/32oz and tasted ok. Orville was like $4-$5/32oz and tasted better then Safeway. Walmart was only $2/32oz and had a very bland flavor. The Walmart brand also deflated in mouth and had no consistency. This popcorn has both the best flavor and very good consistency. It has almost a slight sweetness to them with strong corn flavor and the consistency is firm with a very slight chewyness. For the price, it's cheaper then Walmart and taste better then Orville. Would highly recommend it. Just make sure u have a cool place to store it in bunch of airtight containers.
