Popcorn, it’s an American staple. In fact, I don’t know if I
know anyone who doesn’t love popcorn! It really brings the party – even if it’s
just you, a good movie and a bag of popcorn! But if you are popping in a bag of
instant microwaveable popcorn, you are unintentionally inviting some party
crashers!
Who are these party
crashers? Here's the list of the uninvited.
- GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms
- Partially Hydrogenated Oils- also known as “trans fats
- Diacetyl- Better known as artificial butter flavoring
- TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone) - a chemical preservative
- Potassium Chloride- Can cause irregular heart beat and muscle weakness (No thanks!)
- Natural Flavor- Hardly anything “natural” about this flavor
- Artificial Flavor- these are man-made chemical concoctions
So now what? Don’t
uninvited a good bowl of popcorn, simply put homemade popcorn with kernels and
oil on the VIP list and ditch the instant bag! Homemade popcorn can be just as
divine if not more. With homemade popcorn, you now know that it fresh and there
is only two ingredients oil and kernels. Plus, there is something gratifying on
making popcorn for kids and adults alike!
The list below are REAL natural ways (not “natural flavoring”,
there is a difference!) to add to your popcorn party!
- CHEESY! (My personal favorite: butter or coconut oil, salt and nutritional yeast
- BBQ: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder and onion powder. –Rachel Meltzer Warren,C R.D.
- Chocolate: Coconut oil or butter, honey, cocoa powder
