This is 24 Individual Packs in a Box - Eating One Pack is 1,120 Calories - Excellent Quality Kernels
I had NO IDEA that this product listing was for 24 individual packages of popcorn. I could not believe it when I picked up the package from my concierge because it is quite heavy. The box the individual packs came in stated that it is best used by 10/30/2025 so I have almost nine months to use the 24 packs. Note that the best used by date is only on the box and not on the individual packages. Each individual package is 10.75 oz. If you consume the entire package using all of the popcorn, oil and seasoning it will be 1,120 calories, 48 grams of saturated fat or 240% of your daily allowance and 2,880 mg of sodium or 128% of your daily allowance. Each package is 8 servings. When I eat popcorn I like to keep my salt and my fat low. So I did not prepare the popcorn using much if at all of the seasoning and oil packets. I used an air popper and used much less of the oil and seasoning than what was provided. It is really a nice feature that the oil, seasoning and popcorn all have separate compartments on each individual package. So you can consume this product as healthy or unhealthy as you want to prepare it. I eat popcorn several times a week because it is high fiber and low calorie and I enjoy the taste. I think if you used all of the oil and seasoning this would be as good as the movie theater popcorn with the squirts of butter on top. I enjoyed mine and I will continue to experiment with using different amounts of the seasoning and oil to control the calories, salt and saturated fat. The quality of the popcorn is excellent. I did not get many if any unpopped kernels the four times I have used this product to date in an air popper. I have not tried popping it using any other type of popcorn popper. Per the package instructions you can use this with a Mini Kettle Popper, Electric Popper, Stove Top Kettle Popper, or Top of the Stove Popper. This Amish Country Popcorn comes from Berne, Indiana. So it is made in the USA. Note that both the coconut oil and salt contain artificial flavors and colors. Specifically per the package the salt contains Yellow 5. I would highly recommend this product for the quality of the popcorn kernels. If you are trying to eat healthy I would also recommend using much less than the oil and salt provided with each package.

Makes a TON
I'm a stovetop popcorn cooker! I use a good old fashioned pot and stove. My first bag of Amish Country I made therefore surprised me - it made much more than my pot could handle haha. I even used my biggest! I think in the future I would split the packet into two batches while preparing it, as this meant I had some burnt popcorn at the bottom while I tried to take some off the top to make room for more to pop. Even when I cleared all the popcorn kernels off, I did personally find that about of handful of kernels did not pop. If in the future I find that this changes with my decision to split the popping batches I'll update this review. Otherwise it is very tasty and fresh, doesn't expire for over a year with mine, and I think for the readymade packages this is quite a good deal. Do wish there was a little more butter flavor though.

This is some SERIOUSLY good popcorn! Works great even in our smaller popper
We've been looking for decent popcorn to replace microwave since prices have climbed, and seems like the microwave popcorn's getting to taste worse and worse.Our fairly new popper is one of the ones with a plastic lid and motorized turning "wire", it says it's 6 quart on the box, but in the specs it states 4.5 quart (which I believe is factual). It's one that was pictured on the back of the bags here as "electric popper", but the bag also says you need an 8 quart capacity for one "kit".Our first batch I split everything in the "kit" in half, and that worked perfectly. We must make sure to split evenly, as it completely fills the popper twice per "kit". And we do just as it says, "put in the butter-oil, buttery powder, and corn all at once and turn it on". Results in PERFECT popcorn just like you used to get at the best theaters or ballparks! And also we seem to have almost no "old maids" (unpopped kernels for youngsters that haven't heard of "old maids"... at least I've been asked that more than once.)When I ordered this through VINE I wasn't sure exactly what was the "package". Surely it seemed that at over $4 an ounce must be some extraordinary popcorn. Perhaps someone needs to clarify that; it's a box of 24 packaged "kits". (though ours strangely was only 23 sets, perhaps a hungry mailman?)WE HIGHLY recommend this for taste and ease of use!!! HIGHLY!For anyone that has smaller poppers like us, it's fairly easy to split in 1/2's:corn is 1 heaping cup plus, so go a good heaping 1/2 cupthe powder is about 2 teaspoons, so use 1 teaspoonyou can cut the buttery/oil mix in half, right in the bag and squeeze out half at a timeFairly simple! And with ours that makes it almost 9 quarts total popcorn if it's capacity is as stated.

Pretty much classic popcorn you have to pop from scratch.
There isn't a whole lot unique about this other than the 3 in 1 aspect of oil, popcorn, and flavoring coming all in one pack. I found the popcorn itself even with the flavoring was relatively bland. It did have a bit of a taste to it, but nothing inherently unique beyond the taste of popcorn. If you want a classic popcorn that allows you to add whatever seasoning you want this would be a good one as there isn't really much of any flavor to it but it then gives you the option to mix in whatever you might have laying around. The cheese portion was added and it did help a little but in my opinion could have been so much better. It's not BAD popcorn, its just not as flavorful as I was hoping in the end. It's not terrible, it's not great, it's just OK.

High quality popcorn!
THIS IS AMAZING POPCORN!!! We have an Amish grocery store about 1-2 hours away and we go for the popcorn and seasonings (sometimes candy). We love making popcorn at home and haven't been able to find good, quality kernels.....THIS is an amazing and quality popcorn and oil/butter/seasonings. Really, really good quality and comes ready to be used - pre-portioned for you. It's fantastic!!!!! Well worth it and if you think it's too much to get at once, it's not. If you like popcorn and make it a lot at home or in office/events, this is for you!
