What is the shelf life for popcorn?
Nearly, forever, as long as you keep your popcorn in an air tight container and in a cool dry area, so the popcorn does not draw moisture or lose what moisture is already in the popcorn and needed to make it pop. If stored properly in an airtight plastic or glass container, your popcorn can potentially stay good and ready to pop, for many years. However, most of us will eat all the popcorn before it has a chance to sit around the house for years.
