Much better than regular salt for your popcorn!
We bought a popcorn popper recently and found that making it salty was not easy. So we purchased a sprayer and this salt to make our popcorn taste better. This was delivered in good shape on time. From a taste perspective there is no difference between this and regular salt. However, this is much finer and sticks to the popcorn much better. Popcorn tastes much better as a result.Getting this to stick to the popcorn is not easy though. In theory, it is simple. Spray the popcorn with your butter/oil, sprinkle salt and shake well. It is much more difficult in practice. First, spraying itself gives me problem. I am never sure if I am spraying enough or more than needed. I almost always end up spraying less in the interest of keeping the popcorn healthy. Spraying is also never even. I think a lot of popcorn ends up with no spray. As a result, salt is rarely evenly distributed. A lot of salt actually ends up at the bottom of the bowl. This makes eating the end of the batch almost impossible. You get a lot of unwanted salt into yourself. However, the corn tastes much better than with regular salt so I guess that I just need to perfect my technique.This has 2 openings. A single big one for pouring out the salt and another one with smaller 6 holes for sprinkling. I have used only the smaller ones so far. I also bought a much larger bowl to be able to toss the sprayed and salted popcorn. This improved the salt application a lot.Unless you have a taste for regular salt, and a good way to apply it evenly to your popcorn, I would recommend this. Even though my application is far from perfect, I still saw a big improvement in the taste!

Delicious popcorn. Finely granulated salt adheres perfectly to popped kernels.
I usually use Flavacol popcorn seasoning (available on Amazon), but I purchased this popcorn salt to use when making popcorn for health conscious friends when they cheat a little on Movie Night. I didn't want to try to explain the artificial coloring and artificial flavoring in the Flavacol. I popped a batch of popcorn using organic popping corn (Great Northern, available on Amazon), organic coconut oil and this popcorn salt. I was impressed! Simple as this treat was, I think I liked it as well as the popcorn made with Flavacol.I used a stove top popper with a hand crank to stir the popcorn as it's popping, and I simply dumped in the ingredients and started turning the crank. The very fine grain salt was very uniformly applied to the popcorn and it adhered very well with no loose salt in the bottom of the bowl afterward. I used 1/2 cup of popping corn, 1/4 cup of coconut oil and 1/2 teaspoon of popcorn salt. Delicious! It's also a fairly healthy snack. If you want some variety, try adding garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast (sort of cheesy/savory), smoked chipotle powder (caliente!), taco seasoning, etc.

It's been a long search to find this...
About 30yrs ago I bought 'popcorn salt' from a theater supplier in Wisconsin; the only super fine salt I had ever found. (I had always wondered why theater popcorn was so good besides: better oil and a commercial popper?) When I ran out I was limited to little vials of Morton's popcorn salt which, by comparison, was more like salt I use in my water softener.This is salt DUST ...fantastic. There are some small annoyances in life -like an uncomfortable pillow- that are hard to overcome. The problem of finding a good popcorn salt has been solved. I also found bulk KAPOK to stuff my own pillows. Like this large container of salt, $25. worth of wholesale Kapok is enough to make new pillows for a long time. Press on - life's not over!Jim

Great alternative to Reese popcorn salt
My old favorite popcorn salt was "Reese Fine Popcorn Salt", but I had trouble finding it when I ran out, so I tried Morton popcorn salt, and "Jolly Time Salt O Riffic" popcorn salt (the so called replacement or rebranded Reese salt), all of which are disappointing.I then tried Diamond Crystal Popcorn and Nut Salt, and it is excellent! Ultra fine "flake" salt that sticks very well of popcorn and has a very intense salt flavor!This stuff is as good or better than the old Reese Ultra fine salt popcorn salt in adhesion and flavor.The container/dispenser is very large, and I recommend reusing an old Reese Popcorn salt container or getting a small dispenser (and not using the original container).

WOW How Did I Not Know About This Sooner? ! ? !
At first I thought its just an experiment but now i won't make popcorn without it.PROS:*Really does what it says and sticks to most of the popcorn and not like the regular sized salt that leaves waste at the bottom and your popcorn bare.*Hardly any waste at the bottom*Easy pour container has Amazon Prime for fast shipping and reliable product quality*Salt is so small it get caught up inside the grooves of the popcorn which is great for flavorCONS:* when using watch out this stuff is hard to see so if your counters are light colored you won't notice its all over the place when your tossing the popcorn for layering as it scatters until it sticks.No other cons to mention I love this stuff and can't believe i didn't know about this till now.

Love this stuff!
I wanted a tasty light-weight salt for my air-popped popcorn and a friend recommended this brand. I couldn’t find it in the stores so I was happy to run across it on Amazon, and at a reasonable price. Wow – tastes great and covers nicely. I even find that I use less salt, so that’s a plus. I pair it with Winona Pure Popcorn Butter Theater Style spray - $2.67 at Walmart. It’s low-calorie and helps the salt stick to the popcorn. Yummy! I also use this salt on potatoes, veggies and meat. The large container will last forever. I’ve passed on the recommendation to friends and family and they’ve also fallen in love with it. You won’t be disappointed with this one.
