The Best Popcorn.. It’s NOT What You Think!

What's the best popcorn? It's probably not what you think.

In this video, we'll compare 'Walmart Great Value Popcorn', 'Real Canadian Superstore No-name Popcorn', 'Orville Redenbacher Popcorn', and 'Amish Country Popcorn'.

We'll judge based on:
- Cost
- Size and shape of the kernels
- Size and shape of the popped kernels
- Number of unpopped kernels
- Taste
- And Crunchiness

We hope you enjoy it. Please like and subscribe to see future videos like this.

I buy the Amish brand hulless popcorn. It's slightly smaller when popped but does not have those annoying hulls that get stuck in your teeth and the back of your tongue. Delish!

No complaints about your analysis... but what I would like to mention is that if you use a grease strainer rather than a lid when popping popcorn you come much closer to movie theater popcorn because you let the steam out as it cooks (just like the machines at the movie theater). I also find that if you cook it this way, after letting it cool down, you can bag it and it will last for days. Of course the next obvious thing is to use some coconut oil and then finally, invest in Flavacol seasoning.

Orville Reddenbacher white corn is my favorite and I taste a huge difference between that and the yellow corn.

Taste test would be best done blindfolded and/or by a third party with no knowledge of brands tested. But I do like the goal of comparisons!

I don't care what they say, she keeps eating the Amish popcorn and even wanted to try it first. Non GMO. She obviously thinks there is a difference. She may agree with him but actions speak louder than words.

At one time Orville Redenbacher popcorn was Purdue 210 breed of seed. Redenbacher was an AG professor at Purdue where he patented several different types of popcorn. You could not get Purdue 210 seed but you can get Purdue 410 which is a lovely popcorn to grow.

As a Brit I found this interesting. At 65 I've been popping corn for about 45 years and I always bought the most basic corn kernels, which always tasted great. The toppings make the taste.

I love popcorn. I eat it like 5 times a week. It's become almost ritualistic.

I was wondering why no one says anything about the white popcorn i love it

[robertgamble]

Have you considered the shape of the popped popcorn? Butterfly vs Mushroom. The butterfly has a larger volume, and the mushroom may be cruncher.

Fun fact. Every time I pop popcorn, I don't shake it at all. I put it on high and when the popping slows down I take it off the heat and it's NEVER burned.

I haven't tried Walmart brand or superstore but Orville Redenbacher tastes nothing like it did when it came out years ago. It almost has a fake taste. Amish Country is one of the gest popcorns I have bought but I guess taste is based on the taster. I don't use a lid when I pop my corn either. I used a grease splatter lid and the corn gets more air and comes out much more fluffier and crunchier. Great video! I'll have to try the other 2!

I’ve purchased Amish popcorn for several years knowing that it is significantly more expensive than the competitors. I like the fact that I’m supporting a “small” American farmer.

I had a big batch of Orville Redenbacker I bought for a sale price at a discount outlet grocery store. It took me years to use it up. It was good popcorn and stayed good after years: even the last batch popped well! Then I bought a small bag of some small brand organic. They were small white kernels and I thought it might be terrible, but those popped really well and fluffy and tender and tasted great. I should have saved some for seed! All the popcorn I have bought since is not as good as either of those two batches. Since then I just buy organic from Trader's or Whole Foods.

All of it probably came from the same field in Indiana?

[tomthum]

I can’t believe I watched someone eat popcorn for 20 minutes to find out nothing

[kathrynhile]

I was born in Indiana and my uncle used to grow popcorn. His was the best how ever, I like black jewel, and then amish the best. I pop it in olive oil and real butter, my mom used to pop it in bacon grease. So good!

Varieties of corn are used for different food applications. For caramel corn snack manufacturing, corn that “mushrooms” when popped is used, because the sugar topping adheres better to a larger surface area, also providing a better sensory (the “bite”). There is also less breakage when the product is packaged and transported to store shelf.

The best popcorn I've ever had was popcorn-on-the-cob. It came with a little paper bag and its popped in the microwave. It was so delicious!! But it was expensive.
