Reviews mention

  • Clean organic ingredients list
  • Distinct buttery flavor profile
  • Airy crunchy popcorn texture
  • Creative seasonal flavor lineup
  • Noticeable coconut oil taste
  • Occasionally light seasoning flavor
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Crispness fades after opening

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.

  • Lesser evil popcorn is amazing, I usually buy the seasonal flavors and have never been disappointed. The Lemonade is a favorite and in a plethora of Pumpkin Spice products which usually taste like candles or air fresheners, their product is truly fantastic. There is glazed popcorn mixed in with the seasoned popcorn and the spices are complex and delicious. I felt like every bite was better than the last, I should have bought more bags! The Matcha is great but I would reduce the white chocolate to experience more of the earthy Matcha flavor. I am a big fan of the Paleo Puffs, the product is better than cheese doodles in every way. Lighter and tangier and no orange dust on my fingers.

  • One of the few brands I've discovered in an airport and purchased a second, third, fourth time. Clean ingredients and better than any bagged popcorn I've had before. Will be trying their other products.

  • This is a smart snack in terms of being healthy. It is air popped and using organic ingredients. They even have a dairy-free cheese flavor. However I just don't find this popcorn to be satisfying enough.

  • 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.

  • My toddler absolutely loves the lesser evil baby puff snacks. The star-berry beet flavor are his favorite. I like that they are healthier than some of the similar options and that they don’t have any added sugar or seed oils.

  • 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.

  • 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 am all for an organic snack. Low cal, low carb, high fiber and high quality ingredients. My flavor of choice is the "No Cheese" Cheesiness. I don't find the coconut oil flavor too strong like some other popcorn brands that use coconut oil. I will absolutely be snacking on Lesser Evil in the future!

  • This is my favorite popcorn/snack brand yet! I love the Himalayan Sweetness Popcorn and Hyperspace Hot Onion Moonions. All products are clean ingredients and wholesome. As someone with a sensitive stomach I always look to avoid seed oils and harsh ingredients and this encompasses both of those values!

  • I think that the Lesser Evil products are absolutely delicious. I have tried many of their products, including the popcorn and the puffs, and all of those items are very, very tasty. I would probably say that my favorites would probably be the Pink Himalayan Salt popcorn and the Himalayan Gold popcorn. Both of those flavors are really spot on, and I really enjoy that they are a bit healthier of a popcorn for me with less preservatives than traditional bagged popcorn. I’ve even turned my coworkers on to their snacks, really great products.

  • I really like this Himalayan popcorn. I normally purchase the Himalayan pink salt with organic extra virgin coconut oil. But today I was in Target and saw the Himalayan gold with butter, flavored, coconut oil and Himalayan salt. I have tried many brands of popcorn that have butter flavor in there description. I am always disappointed because it's some kind of powdery substance that sits on the popcorn and just gets all over your fingers and really doesn't have that much flavor. Kind of reminds me of Doritos. But Lesser Evil brand Himalayan Gold is so flavorful without that powdery stuff that gets all over your hands and tastes very fake. This is wonderful!

  • OMG !! The cheddar flavor of this popcorn is so tasty will purchase again !!! Can't wait to try all the flavors !!!

  • Delicious organic, premium popcorn made for snacking and lots of flavors to choose from!

  • I love their Himalayan Pink Salk popcorn. I usually get it from thrive market and they come in snack pack sizes for portion control!

  • A nice, healthy vegan snack that has a nice pink salt taste without being overly salty. I usually order this product through Thrive.

    A nice snack flavored with pink salt.

  • Lesser Evil Popcorn is a tasty, guilt-free snack! It’s light, crispy, and packed with flavor without being too greasy. The clean ingredients and variety of flavors are a big win. The only downside is that some flavors could use a little more seasoning, but overall, it's a great snack!

  • W popcorn. This is literally the only brand of popcorn I consume. Literally, my boyfriend and I sneak the big bag into the movie theater. Just tastes so good, so addictive. Their best flavor is the Himalayan Sweetness one, it's always sold out at our local retailers when we go try to find it. We've also recently tried their Lil Puffs. As a fellow baby food enjoyer, it's top tier. Use it as mix ins or just a straight up snack. Lesser evil can do no evil.

  • Love this brand! The popcorn is immaculate. Best popcorn I’ve had. I thought the puffs were just ok.

  • 100% five stars for the white chocolate and matcha popcorn. Its too good, I dont even care about the price.
