We bought "mushroom" corn for popping at home and it's a game changer. They're so much better than the "butterfly" corn that you get from

the store or supermarket. I was using Orville Redenbacher or Trader Joe's brand mostly but I wasn't picky.

I wasn't happy with the popcorn that we got as it wasn't big, round and fluffy like what you can get in bags of popcorn.
A little reading and I learned there are different kernels for popping and I wanted "mushroom" kernels.

Soooo good and much less of those the hard little corn skins and hard insides like with the "butterfly" kernels.

I pop it in a pot with ghee and then drizzle on some more ghee afterwards. We also bought some cheese powder and just made a batch of cheese popcorn. So good!!!

huh, I always assumed it was popping device pressure that determined shape. Does it taste significantly different like for like without butter/salt? -- nm - Max Jul 25, 12:29 3
- I haven't had any without any ghee to say if it tastes better or not. I'll make some plain popcorn using oil and see how it is. - Krusty Jul 25, 12:34 2

  - We might have went a little too heavy with the cheese powder. Ghee instead of butter makes it nice and buttery but not soggy. Magic! -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 12:05
