popcorn + salt + sugar

Popcorn

When my sister was staying with me last I asked her for her popcorn recipe as the popcorn she makes is really good. Her secret seems to be that she uses a small amount of both sugar AND salt. She uses olive oil as the cooking oil also. I was trying to find out if popcorn was a healthy snack, opinions seem divided! I guess it is the same as with almost everything – that things should be consumed in moderation. My thoughts are that savory popcorn could be a good snack to have with drinks if I have gluten-free people over. I was looking about online and there seems to be quite a few interesting popcorn recipes like this one.

    Popcorn counts as one of your five-a-day as my offspring frequently remind me! So, it’s practically health food!

    I am addicted to Pret’s organic honey popcorn, it’s divine. Apparently it’s the most filling food you can eat when you consider calories vs appetite satisfaction. Which is my justification!

    I’m kind of popcorn fan!
    I’m convinced popcorn is very very healthy – at least this is what my body belives…
    will try it out: sugar and salt together!
