Topic: Unpopped to Popped Conversion

Posted By Poppy on 01 Dec 2009 01:56 PM
Generally, one (1) ounce of unpopped popcorn equals a quart popped. Your machine holds 6 quarts of popped popcorn, which would mean about 6 ounces of kernels.

About hull-less popcorn: all popcorn must have a hull in order to pop. There are varieties that have a less noticeable hull in the final popped popcorn product (the hull shatters when popped in some varieties), but there are no varieties that are completely hull-less. It’s not “better” than other popcorn but people who have difficulties with hulls prefer this variety.

Hi CarmelCORN. Love the name! * One (1) ounce (or 1/8 cup or 2 tablespoons) of unpopped popcorn equals about a quart popped * 4 ounces in ½ cup * 4 cups in a quart If you’re using ½ cup kernels, you’ll yield about 4 quarts of popped popcorn (or 16 cups of popcorn) which would make a sizeable snack for several people (or one very hungry person) and come in just under 500 calories (496)." Hope this helps. Enjoy!

If I have a popcorn maker that handles 1 1/2 gallons of finished popcorn, how much unpopped corn do I need to make that much? (I.e., what is the conversion from unpopped popcorn to popped popcorn?) I realize that different types make different sized final popped corn, but please give an average! Also, is hulless popping corn any better than the regular hulled varieties? Thanks!
