Trust Carnival King for your supply of carnival foods, and treat your patrons like royalty with delicious-tasting popcorn popped from these Carnival King popcorn kernels. Popcorn is a crowd pleaser that's easy to make and will help boost impulse sales at your venue. These kernels produce extra large-sized, mushroom-style popcorn that's sure to keep customers coming back for more!
This item was made in the United States of America.
This product has been confirmed by the manufacturer to be Non-GMO.
While different crops across the country yield different kernel sizes, these Missouri grown, extra large kernels are known for their consistent and reliable crop yields. With an expansion rate of 29-31 cc, this size offers more surface area for coatings and glazes to stick to.
Mushroom-style popcorn is denser and more compact than butterfly-style popcorn. Since mushroom popcorn does not include any breakable "wings" like butterfly popcorn, it holds up well against stirring and coating processes. Pop kernels at 400 degrees to form the full, round shape.
Thanks to the larger surface area, this mushroom-style popcorn is the popcorn of choice for caramel corn and kettle corn. It can even be used to add gourmet glazes for decadent, sweet popcorn treats!
This 5 lb. bulk bag of popcorn kernels ensures that you'll be able to pop enough popcorn for your busiest hours!
Simply follow the instructions on your countertop or freestanding popcorn machine to properly prepare. For every 1 cup of unpopped kernels, it is recommended to use 4-6 tbsp. of oil.
Offering quality concession equipment and supplies, Carnival King provides you with the options you need at the prices you want. Carnival King's assortment of products - from popcorn kits and kernels to popcorn poppers and merchandisers - is sure to keep your establishment in full operation and help make bulk preparation simple. Look to Carnival King as a brand you can trust for your concession supplies solutions!

I’m disappointed. I received not mushroom popcorn, but a mix of what was about 70% butterfly and 30% mushroom. Yeah, it popped great, but mushroom? Nope.

Tried our standard popping method (large pot with oil over high heat) the very first time with this popcorn and the results were less then ideal. Small kernels, under popped, etc.. Changed up the popping method, scorching red hot oil, let kernels sit for 45 seconds to a 1:30, and back on high heat, POPS amazingly for us now. The only real issue is that once popped, they are really susceptible to moisture and go chewy/stale much quicker for us. Not a huge issue, just have to plan accordingly. Overall, pleased with the mushroom popcorn.

These Non GMO mushroom popcorn kernels are ideal for popcorn recipes where the popcorn is coated with caramel or cheese, and they are less likely to break up into smaller pieces as the Butterfly popcorn does.

I am not happy with this product at all. There are too unpopped kernels for one and I feel like it is a waste of money each time we toss them out. Also, too many hanging kernels that get stuck in my teeth. This was a bomber for us as we were looking forward to coating them with caramel and cheese coatings.

Tried this on the stove and with an air popper. Didn't care for it either way. Popcorn seemed stale. Next time, I'll try a different brand.

This is the very best popcorn to use for candied popcorn. It's large and holds it's shape for full candy coverage and withstands the constant stirring. The only popcorn i use. 4 instead of 5 because i wish it were white instead of yellow.

When I purchased this popcorn, I wanted to see the difference. After popping this type of popcorn it was large like they said, but too much hull. I had friends that said they liked it, but others were like me too hully.

The kernels really do pop large! This is a great option for making kettle corn as the sugar has lots of surface area to cling to!

I had a lovely time with popping this popcorn. The kernels have a high popping rate with few "old maids" when done. I used popcorn seasoning oil and sometimes a little butter, cheese powder, seasoning mixes, etc. Really good popcorn.

Perfectly large mushroom popcorn. Popped beautifully. Holds caramel sauce very well and looks very appealing. Can also use for "family movie night". Kids loved it!

Great popcorn! Cooked this on the stove top when my friends were over for the game. Popped up nicely and everyone was impressed with how big each piece popped. Add a little salt and pepper, and that is all you need.

we love this popcorn - pops up big and is delicious with butter or the caramel- we do not have to use a lot for samples due to the extra large size

These popcorn kernels are just like it says, extra large. They pop up so big, you won't believe it! Makes great caramel popcorn too! It's a must have!!

This popcorn is exactly what is advertised. For eating, it is not our preferred choice as compared to the White Butterfly popcorn, but this popcorn would make a great choice for novelty items like popcorn balls or as an addition to other foods. It is not as tender as White Popcorn, but that would be good if you are trying to mix flavors, syrups, etc into the popcorn to create something.

Absolutely love the mushroom kernels! They pop nice and big with very few kernels left unpopped. Perfect for kettle popcorn. I was able to use half a cup and get the same volume of popcorn as 1 cup of the regular kernel. Saves me time and money!
