5.0 out of 5 stars Only popcorn I can eat without adding any butter or seasoning
This is very good popcorn. It pops perfectly in my air popper. As long as you don't add any butter or seasoning, you actually feel good after eating this popcorn. Butter obviously adds a lot of flavor, but it is flavorful enough to eat without any butter or seasoning. The popcorn is not "blue" but does have a light tint to it when popped.
5.0 out of 5 stars Popcorn volcano.
I bought this bag of popcorn because I was looking for easy way to make my own snack at home. I was amazed by how pippidy and popiddy this popcorn was. It was like a magic show on my stove top where more is not merrier.Shortly after I turned on the heat, the popcorn started to pop. And pop. And pop. It did not stop popping. It was like a popcorn explosion in my pot. The lid started to rattle and shake, and as soon as a single popped corn was able to find enough space to push out between the lil and pot it was over. Popcorn was flying everywhere, like a fountain of white hot snow. It was raining popcorn in my kitchen. It was a popcorn volcano.I tried to turn off the heat, but it was too late. The popcorn had already spilled over the pot and onto the stove. It was sizzling and burning, and it reminded me of Christmas. I grabbed a towel and tried to cover the pot, but it was too hot. I burned my hand, and I dropped the towel. It caught fire. I panicked and ran to get some water, but I slipped on the popcorn on the floor. I fell and hit my head.The next thing I knew, I was lying on the floor, surrounded by popcorn and the charred remains of my towel and snack.I learned my lesson the hard way. Do not fill your pot with too much popcorn. But definitely make popcorn on your stove top and buy this bag of popcorn. My second batch was uneventful and the popcorn is crisp and delicious capable of taking on any flavors you may want to add. 6lbs can go a long way so use sparingly, you can always make a second batch
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Popcorn
I had purchased the 10 one pound bag of all the varieties from Amish Country. As I tried each variety I evaluated against what i usually purchase at the HEB.... Most of the varieties were on the same level or below .. Like ladyfinger and mushroom... to me they were horrible and knew I would not be buying in bulk... 2 varieties however blew me out of the water... They took me by surprise that the flavor they brought was sooooooo much better than the store bought and they were: Blue and Midnight Blue... I knew i was going to get both varieties in bulk, 6 pound bags.. when i got the bags I popped a batch right away and I was in heaven again... I originally thought popcorn was popcorn. But these two varieties from Amish Country made me see the light... I definatley will recommend and purchase again
5.0 out of 5 stars Best popcorn ever!
The Amish Blue Popcorn, grown from heirloom seeds (meaning old seeds, not new GMO ones) make perfect and flavorful popcorn. The popped kernels are smaller than some newer strains, but that results in less issues with "hulls" which also means more kernels pop. This popcorn works great in an air popper, a microwave popper (it's actually great for this because of the smaller kernels), and even an on-the-stove popper. Yeah, I have all of that. I make lots of popcorn. The blue popcorn, frankly, just tastes better than any other variety I've found.
4.0 out of 5 stars Yellow vs Amish Blue (Comparison)
Title: Yellow vs Amish Blue (Comparison)Product: Amish Country Blue Popcorn (Hull-less)Rating: 4/5 StarsBefore I comment on the Amish Blue, I think readers would find a little context on popcorn varieties helpful. The three major categories of modern corn are (1) Popcorn (aka “Flint Corn” ... as in hard as flint) which is bred and used exclusively for popping, (2) Dent Corn (aka “Feed” or “Field” Corn - the ‘dent’ refers to the distinctive inward dimple that forms in the tip when allowed to dry on the stalk out in the fields before harvesting), which is softer when dried and used for both animal feed and for hulling and grinding into masa (for tortillas) or innumerable corn-based products like corn starch, corn syrup, ethanol, etc), and (3) Sweet Corn (aka “Eating corn” - the kind you buy fresh on the cob in summertime. The latter two are largely useless for popping.Ok, on to popcorn - which is an offshoot family of varieties that (AFAIK) are selectively bred across many many crop generations to select for the following qualities: shelf life, growing yield, disease resistance, popping yield, appearance, and flavor ... pretty much in that order. Integral to shelf life and popping efficiency are kernels that are compact, hard, and have a strong protective skin (pericarp) that not only protects the kernels from rough handling during processing, but also starches within from oxidation during extended storage, and is able to hold enough pressure during cooking for the residual moisture trapped within each kernel to steam the interiors until they finally pop explosively. If the pericarp is damaged during handling, or for whatever reason is unable to maintain enough internal pressure during cooking to achieve a strong pop ... you guess it ... it doesn’t pop, and the result is an “old maid” (unpopped kernel), which is the signature measure of ‘popping efficiency’.Moving on to “Heirloom” varieties - not all popping corns are created equal, and different strains have been developed over time to target different niches. The hands down champion strain of popping corn offering the best balance of growing yield, shelf life, and popping efficiency appears to be classic yellow popping corn, sold by companies like Orville Redenbacher. It’s relatively cheap, plentiful, reliable, stores well (10 years or more, if stored properly), and has a VERY high popping efficiency, as well as decent flavor. White popping corn is very similar to yellow, and seems to have a slightly paler (less yellow more white) appearance when popped, and is arguably slightly more tender and milder in flavor. Everything else is pretty just older heirloom varieties targeting niche preferences like color, tenderness, or popping size (ex: mushroom) ... which brings us at long last to the Amish Blue featured in this review.I uploaded a side by side photo showing equal batches (as measured by unpopped weight) of classic yellow popcorn on the left, and the Amish blue on the right. The classic yellow has a distinct faint hint of straw yellow in the color, pops larger, and has a very slightly more pronounced corn flavor, whereas the Amish blue has a slightly more compact shape when popped (about 15-20% smaller), a slightly whiter (less yellow) appearance, a slightly more neutral and delicate flavor, and a slightly more tender bite (read: thinner pericarp). That last one (tenderness), comes at a price however, because the attractive blue pericarp is slightly thinner which results in a lower popping efficiency (read: a higher percentage of old maids) as well as a slightly smaller size when popped. Another difference I noticed is that the yellow popping corn is highly consistent in terms of popping time ... it takes slightly longer to get to critical pressure, but once it gets there, all the kernels tend to pop rapidly and trail off faster, whereas the Amish blue tends to start popping a little earlier, pops a little more slowly, and trails off more slowly. That’s not as much of an issue for air popping, but for people like me who vastly prefer stovetop popping in clarified butter, knowing when to stop in order to avoid scorching can become an issue.Bottom line: The Amish blue is very good, and as far as niche heirloom varieties go the price is quite reasonable. However, in my experience, while colorful heirloom varieties tend to command a higher price, they also tend to lack any significant advantage in terms of flavor or appearance after they've been popped. The oft ballyhooed claims of tenderness, while true, are slight and come at the price of smaller size (when popped) and a slightly lower popping efficiency (more old maids) - so you need to ask yourself if that extra minor difference in tenderness is really worth the smaller ultimate yield. Personally, I've found the blue popcorn (after popping) to be remarkably similar to most varieties of white popping corn in all but size. So, if the price is reasonable, and it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy to give someone a bag of blue (instead of yellow or white) popcorn, I say go for it ... but if you’re a regular consumer like me, price, yield, shelf life, and whether or not it's non-GMO & organic, are the real drivers, and for that reason I only buy heirloom popcorn as gifts, if at all. However you like heirloom popcorn, the Amish blue is indeed good quality and reasonably priced, and for that reason it gets 4/5 stars (good to excellent). Add a star if you like your popping corn extra tender, extra pale, and don’t mind a slightly lower yield.UPDATED 20-Jun-2019: As mentioned in the generalization above, the flavor and appearance of the amish blue is indistinguishable from many varieties of white kernel popcorn.
1.0 out of 5 stars Moldy
The first time I purchased the Blue popcorn it was great. The flavor was the best I'd ever tasted with the best crunch. I liked it so much I ordered the 5lb bag. Unfortunately both times I have popped a bowl from that bag its tasted moldy so much so I'll be throwing away the entire bag. Very unfortunate and a waste of money, it's not the cheapest popcorn.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great flavor, great texture, and can be planted too!
We've bought this a few times, we've tried growing it twice even! The germination rate was pretty good, but the first time we didn't plant soon enough and the ears got moldy before they could dry as a result of the fall rains. The second time we planted earlier, got a decent harvest out of it but ended up losing them all to squirrels as they dried!Delicious pop corn!
Surprisingly sweet but gritty... I don't hate it but will not buy the blue again.
I was very excited to try this popcorn here is how it went:- very slow pop compared to other popcorn I make.- the color after popping was white.. really really white.. very cool- the size of the pop was perhaps 1/2 of a the redinbacher brand i have been using lately.- the flavour was surprisingly sweet all on its own.- texture came across as gritty because of all the hull.- I started with 1/2 cup and got a tablespoon of unpopped kernels back.The combination of unpopped kernels and grittiness was unfortunate.I assume the problem was freshness or poor moisture control.The kernels that did not pop were mostly split and could be crunched like corn nuts so I am guessing the moisture content of the kernels is too low.Very disappointing. I would be willing to try again if company can confirm a better batch.
Annoyed.
Popcorn taste ok, seems bit stale. I am annoyed that the company advertised a little recipe book with this particular order and I never got it. I also emailed the company and never got an answer about it. I really dislike not getting what was promised. Poor customer service is another big one for me. Don’t think I’ll give my business to them again.
Small, Dry, A Mistake to Buy
Thought this was a premium product, twice the price of our usual brand, spent the extra money - very disappointed. Popcorn was small, dry, one cup kernels made less volume than usual brand - half the amount of one cup Reddenbacher. Popcorn is very husky, a mouthful is mostly hull, kernel, and not the fluffy pop you would expect. Will not buy again. So disappointing. Bolo does not return on grocery items, otherwise would have sent back.
Great natural and great fibre
Everything was fantastic excellent wonderful beautiful incredible
Lower quality than the variety pack
I have ordered the 10 lb (10x varieties) variety pack many times, and finally decided to order a large bag of this uniquely flavourful kernel. This batch is more difficult to pop & smaller, and clearly lower quality than the ideal version supplied with the variety pack.I find this quality drop is often the case with this brand, and their baby white is essentially identical the medium white as well. Those kernels seem to be better quality in the 6 lb version than this variety, and I noticed the worse grade batching with Midnight Blue as well.I’ve been popping kernels with oil on gas stoves for literally decades now, and always adapt my method for the particular batch—using virtually any cooking oil and kernel variety including Ladyfinger. These seem to be lower grade batches with inferior humidity levels when you buy in the bulk size.
