Lesser Evil earns strong reviews as a flavorful, cleaner snack brand that largely delivers—especially Himalayan Gold and Pink Salt popcorn, No Cheese Cheesiness puffs, Space Balls, and seasonal flavors—praised for airy crunch, authentic buttery taste without dairy, and simple organic ingredients. Reviews also flag weaknesses: coconut oil’s noticeable taste isn’t for everyone, some flavors run lightly seasoned or uneven, bags can stale or turn soggy after opening, and a few seasonal or cheese variants miss the mark.

I love love their popcorn. I find the coconut oil to be really tasty but not sweet and the popcorn flavors are all amazing. My favorite is the Himalayan gold and the cheesy one. They don’t taste synthetic like some of the other popcorn brands with low cal ingredients and chemicals.

This is hands down the best tasting popcorn I’ve ever had without all the crazy additives and ingredients. I don’t know how they get that buttery flavor but as someone who doesn’t tolerate dairy, I really appreciate it!!

This popcorn is seriously my favorite! I wait all year for it and stock up as soon as it comes out. The pumpkin spice flavor is perfectly balanced, not too sweet, just cozy and delicious. I love that it’s made with clean ingredients, like coconut oil, so I never feel guilty snacking on it. Hands down the best seasonal treat!

This is the best popcorn. I love the Himalayan Pink Salt. I enjoy the coconut oil taste, but if someone doesn't like coconut oil, they would perhaps be turned off. I like the crispy taste and the flavor. This is our go-to popcorn. I love that it's healthier than other packaged popcorns. My daughter loves it too.

This is one of my favorite snack brands. I love that they use clean ingredients but the snacks are still very flavorful. I also like how you can purchase this brand in my locations. My favorite is the popcorn.

Lesser Evil snacks are better than the standard stuff. The flavors are more exciting and the crunch is out of this world. After eating Space Balls for a while, the popular orange crunchy ball shaped snack tastes artificial and gross by comparison. I'm a permanent convert.

I’ve been buying Lesser Evil Organic Popcorn for a while now and it’s become a staple for our family picnics. it’s light, crunchy and made with clean, simple ingredients. It’s feel good about giving to my kids. They love it and it doesn’t leave a mess or sticky fingers!

The best brand ever not debate - as someone who has terrible stomach issues and sensitive to many things, Lesser Evil is my favorite especially the butter flavor and Homers flavor. Super clean ingredients, great texture and price in my opinion. I have went through at least 30 bags of this stuff.

I regularly buy Lesser Evil popcorn. My favorite is the Homer blend and now I’ve fallen in love with the Sugar Cookie flavor. Their sweet popcorn is so delicious and made with more natural ingredients. I usually pick the varieties that are vegan. It always feels like I’m having a better for you snack.

Lesser Evil is one of my favorite brands of popcorn. I love the natural flavors and health aspects. The taste is excellent and has creative flavors like the Himalayan salt and watermellon that make it fun and different.

The products I've tried from this brand have been a mixed bag. The cheese Paleo Puffs were extremely disappointing to me, but the Himalayan Gold popcorn is my favorite popcorn ever. Ultimately I love the brand, but it depends on your own personal tastes.



I had the pizza puff balls. Those were actually really good. I was a bit hesitant at first because I have had pizza flavored items before and this one was really good. Very good actually. Cute Toy Story Aliens on the package too!

I’ve only tried the himalayan pink salt popcorn from them but absolutely love it, have repurchased many times. There’s a hint of coconut flavor from the coconut oil and it’s so perfectly addictively salty. Definitely unique from other healthy popcorn brands due to the coconut flavor.

I love Lesser Evil popcorn and their Space Balls (my toddler is obssessed with these). As a lover of popcorn, I've tried their different varieties and highly recommend the popcorn with Ghee. I don't like that they use coconut oil for their base in the other ways- although they market themselves as "clean", coconut oil is not necessarily great for the heart. I wouldn't recommend it. But the ghee is fantastic and tastes a lot better. I do enjoy purchasing their products and think they come at a fair price point.

Never knew popcorn could come in such wild flavors and actually taste good... taste great. OG popcorn is delicious too but definitely venture out and try some of the others. Actually good.

Some of these products are so addicting. I love that I don’t feel like garbage after I eat them. I get a bag in my imperfect foods box every week!

I like how Lesser Evil uses coconut oil to make their popcorn. The flavor is lightly salted but not too much so. If I didn't know how to make my own popcorn at home I'd choose this brand every time! I think considering the simple ingredients that the price should be lower but it's worth paying for quality.

Incredible popcorn!! I'm a big fan of their clean and minimal ingredients list. I've tried the Himalayan gold made with coconut oil, it's so creamy and tasted delicious (you don't have a strong coconut oil taste). I will definitely be trying out other flavors. Such a great snack.


I love this. brand has so many good flavors to try and also are low in calories so like that makes the perfect snack.I can wait to try more and I would definitely recommended this product to all my friends and family.

The best popcorn ever. I love the Himalayan Sweet. It is the perfect amount of sweetness. I love that they use coconut oil and cane sugar ! I will never buy a different brand of popcorn. Cute packaging too!
