How many ears of corn to get one cup kernels? While the yield of the corn kernels will obviously vary by the size of the cob, a good rule of thumb is to assume you will get about ¾ cup per ear.
We use that information to get the answer:
A large bag of popcorn:
22 (cups) / 0.75 cup per ear
= 29.33 ears of corn
A small bag of popcorn:
11 (cups) / 0.75 cup per ear
= 14.67 ears of corn
