Homemade popcorn is so much healthier than pre-packaged popcorn. So
I recently bought a bag of No Name Popping Corn at my local No Frills store for only $2.49. I thought this was such a great price especially considering the amount of popcorn each bag will yield.
I have a hot air popcorn popper, so I get to pop fresh popcorn. Rarely will I pop the kernels in a pot.
Popcorn on its own is very healthy - there’s no sodium, low fat and lots of fibre in each 1/4 cup serving of the kernels. It’s when you add the (plant-based) butter and other toppings that popcorn becomes less healthy. In addition to plant-based butter, I add a couple spices and syrup (usually table syrup or corn syrup, whatever I have on hand). I got the syrup idea from a restaurant on Long Island, NY - that used maple syrup and bacon bits - while visiting my sister. If I ever find vegan bacon bits, I’ll add these too.
It'll take me a while to finish this bag, but I'll have no hesitation buying this popping corn again.
