Before you begin considering your options, there are a few things you should learn or be aware of. There are many different types of kernels available, so we’d like to share some information with you to help you make the best decision for your popcorn needs.
1) Size
Size does not always refer to the size of the kernel, though this may be relevant to you.  If you don’t make it very often and simply need a smaller size, that’s fine as well. Be familiar with the sizing you’re looking for or feel at ease purchasing. If you buy in bulk, you can be confident that popcorn kernels will keep well if the containers are airtight. They will remain fresh for a long time.
2) Flavor
You can always season your own kernels or buy some with a variety of seasonings on them. Choose pre-seasoned kernels if you prefer to have the fun stuff done for you. Alternatively, if you intend to season your own popcorn, it may be worth considering the flavor of your kernel type in case one goes better with your flavor choices.
By the way, if you do decide to season your popcorn, season it while it’s still hot to ensure that the seasoning adheres to the surface of the popcorn.
