Thanks for your exhaustive report on popcorn. I was really sad to hear that it was not nutritious as has been stated.
I love popcorn and bought an inexpensive bag from Walmart. The first few times were fantabulous. Light, fluffy, not chewy.
I had stored it in the fridge, and yesterday, it was awful — chewy.
I use the hot air cannister by P??? — an old American name.
Anyhoo, I bought Orville R.- yellow — from Walmart today and was truly disappointed. It too was chewy. Fluffy but chewy. Returning it tomorrow. During past years, I was buying the bagged microwave type and it was never ever chewy. But my microwave broke down and I don’t really use it that much.
Orville yellow is “gluten free.”
R U certain there is not nutritional value? How sad.
What is the best healthy munchie between meals that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I’m a young senior citizen, past 80 years!
Thanks again, and would love to get ur feedback.
I’m in Mtn View — Stanford — Palo Alto area, California.
I air pop it and it does come out fluffy but its chewy. Yuk.

Dear
Scott Johnson
My name is Ripon Haque from Bangladesh. Recently I am started a small Enterprise of Pop corn. I bought popcorn Kernel and Flavacol from Gold medal Popcorn. I felt some problem with my popcorn products. I am using Big stainless steel poper made by China.
After poping with flavacol and palm oil its look crispy. After that I used foil pouch bag with high purity Nitrogen gas for packing.
But after some days , even in a week it’s become chewy .
Our country has normally 75 to 80 percent moisture content in Air. And my factory is normal condition with out control moisture system.
In this case How could i keep fresh or increase shelf time for popcorn.
If you answer me then I feel honored.
