I bought the 12 bottle variety to try out. I just recently started using a hot air popper so wanted to see what varieties worked well.
First off. The baby white and baby yellow kernels are just too light for use in a hot air popper. We did pop them at work using a traditional popper and they were fine.
The are two varieties that stood out as my favorites for my hot air popper. The first is the Wisconsin White Birch, which popped up big, fluffy and close to zero unpopped or blow out kernels. The second is Savannah Gold, it popped up big, nice volume and again almost zero unpopped or blow out kernels.
Two varieties that are close seconds as favorites are: Autumn Blaze Blend (small, crisp, no unpopped kernels but quite a few blow outs) and High Mountain Midnight (some no pops, good volume).
There was only one variety that I would not ever use again. The Black Hills had about 4 times the quantity of unpopped kernels as any of the other types, the kernels popped up very small, it was extremely hully and some kernels burnt in the hot air popper.
Orchard Blossom, Red River Valley and Harvest Blend types all popped fine in my hot air popper with only a few unpopped kernels. The Blue Heron also popped fine with a few more unpopped kernels than the three mentioned in the sentence before; it was also earthy in taste and popped up small kernels. Savannah Fire had very few close to no pops and was very chewy without being hully.
