With all of the hype recently about the health benefits of popcorn, it is increasingly obvious why people love and crave popcorn so much. Of course, without a doubt, the healthiest popcorn to eat is air-popped, with no toppings. However, let’s face it: air-popped popcorn, with no oil, butter, or salt, is not very appetizing.
So what is the best compromise between “naked” popcorn and the butter-laden salty kernels from the movie theater? Stove top popped popcorn.
Made with a little thought, it can be made with a minimum of unhealthy aspects while still being tasty. You can also add a wide variety of flavorings that are both delicious and still healthy — most cooking spices, like chili powder, cumin, curry powder, garlic powder, Cajun spice, garam masala, or even combinations of spices are wonderful ideas.
