Product Features

Trust Carnival King for your supply of carnival foods, and treat your patrons like royalty with delicious-tasting popcorn popped from these Carnival King extra large, mushroom-style popcorn kernels! 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.

Mushroom-style popcorn is denser and more compact than butterfly-style popcorn. This mushroom popcorn's extra large size offers more surface area for coatings and glazes to stick to. Since mushroom popcorn does not include any breakable "wings" like butterfly popcorn, it holds up well against stirring and coating processes. It's the popcorn of choice for caramel corn and kettle corn, and it can be used to add gourmet glazes for decadent, sweet popcorn treats!

These kernels deliver a consistent product each and every time. Simply follow the instructions on your countertop or freestanding popcorn machine to properly prepare. Popcorn is the perfect light snack that your customers can munch on all throughout the day. Plus, popcorn helps maximize profits and boost impulse sales. Compared to large bulk bags of popcorn kernels, these popcorn kernels are packaged in a 5 lb. bag that's less bulky, easy to handle, and easy to store. This non-GMO popcorn is grown in the USA.

Sold in a 5 lb. bag.

    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 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.

Frequently AskedQuestions

The primary difference between mushroom and butterfly popcorn is the shape of the kernel. Mushroom kernels are more round and compact which provides a larger surface area for coatings to stick to, making it perfect for gourmet confections such as kettle and caramel corn. Butterfly popcorn has a more irregular shape with a number of protruding wings that allow butter and salt to be trapped underneath, making it great for movie theatres and concession stands.
