I was just wondering this myself, needing to make 24 C of popcorn on the stove. I found a good rule of thumb is that each 1 Tablespoon of kernels will give you slightly over 1 cup of popped popcorn.
1 1/8 cups of unpopped popcorn
A 50 lb bag of popcorn typically yields around 800 cups of popped popcorn. The general rule of thumb is that 1 lb of unpopped popcorn yields about 16 cups of popped popcorn. Therefore, with 50 lbs of unpopped popcorn, you would have approximately 800 cups of popped popcorn once it's all popped.
To serve popcorn to 90 people, a good estimate is about 2 to 3 cups of popped popcorn per person. This totals approximately 180 to 270 cups of popcorn. Since one cup of unpopped kernels yields about 30 cups of popped popcorn, you would need around 6 to 9 cups of unpopped kernels. Adjust based on preferences and whether popcorn is a primary snack or a side offering.
1 quart = 4 cups 1 cup = 0.25 quart
One pound of unpopped popcorn is equivalent to 56 cups of popcorn. One pound of unpopped popcorn will make a lot of popcorn, so care should be made before making the entire batch.
Typically, one serving of popcorn is about 2 tablespoons of unpopped kernels, which yields approximately 4 to 5 cups of popped popcorn. To make 22 servings, you would need about 44 tablespoons of unpopped kernels, or roughly 2.75 cups. Since there are about 16 tablespoons in a cup, you would need around 2.75 cups of unpopped kernels to achieve 22 servings.
Approximately 2,500. I know this because I had to figure out about how much popcorn to buy for a project that used the kernels to show how many people there were in a certain population in our state. And yes, I counted out each and every one.
Five quarts of popcorn is equal to 40 cups of popped popcorn. This is because there are 8 cups in a quart, and 5 quarts multiplied by 8 cups is equal to 40 cups.
A bushel is a unit of measurement and is very appropriate for use to measure popped corn. One bushel equals 8 gallons, so 8 x 16 equals 128 cups.
The number of popped popcorn kernels in 5 cups can vary depending on the size of the popped popcorn, but on average, one cup of popped popcorn contains about 30 to 40 kernels. Therefore, in 5 cups, you would typically find around 150 to 200 popped kernels. Keep in mind that this is an estimate, as the actual number can fluctuate based on how the popcorn was popped and the specific variety used.
