Non-GMO: GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) foods are commonplace now in grocery stores, and many people have concerns over how safe or nutritious these modified foods are. Thankfully, finding non-GMO popcorn is easy – all popcorn made in the United States is non-GMO!
Pieces: When looking for popcorn kernels for sale online, pay careful attention to the number of pieces that come with your package. Some orders will be for one large bag of popcorn, while others will come with several individually-portioned bags.
Package Size: Another thing to look for is the package size to prevent buying too much or popcorn going bad! Whether you prefer individual bags at home, or large bags to feed a small army, there are plenty of options for you!
Organic: In addition to non-GMO products, many companies also make organic popcorn too! Popcorn is by nature organic, but the additional butter or seasoning isn’t always organic. If we say “yes” to organic, it is a 100% certified organic product!
Microwaveable: If you cook your kernels on the stove or in an air popper, all of the products we reviewed work well. However, if you want to microwave them, we let you know which ones work, and which ones to avoid!
Type: Yellow popcorn kernels produce large, sturdy popcorn that can hold up well to heavy seasoning and lots of butter. White popcorn kernels are a bit smaller and more delicate, making them great for eating plain or with some light seasoning!
