Guide to Hot Buttery Popcorn

Bowl of popcorn FDP Carlos PortaWhether you’re a purist, preferring to pop your popcorn the old-fashioned way on top of the stove or you’ll eat it straight out of a microwavable bag, a hot, steaming bowl of popcorn, enjoyed with your family is one of the pleasures of life.

 

When it’s prepared properly, popcorn is a healthy, low-fat, high-fiber food. Only when you drizzle the butter or sprinkle the high-sodium flavorings on, does it become a less-healthy snack.

 

If you want a healthy flavoring for your popcorn, learn about different toppings to add to your snack. These include chili powder, garlic, cinnamon or flavored cooking sprays.

 

Use this guide to learn more about popcorn and healthy ways to enjoy this snack.
