Everybody loves popcorn, especially as a quick snack before dinner or during a night at the movies. What many people don’t know, however, is that pre-packaged popcorn from the grocery store may contain loads of salt, butter and other artificial flavoring that are terrible for your health. As an alternative to munching these additives, in a recent article published on ZLiving.com, Victoria Brodsky, head of nutrition at Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK), gives some great tips and recipes for making your own popcorn at home.

As the article notes, popcorn is healthiest when prepared ‘air popped,’ which you can purchase or whip up on your own.
“You can buy air-popped popcorn at your local grocer, or you can make your own by buying kernels and popping them in a paper bag in the microwave,” Brodsky explains in the article.
Another option is to put a third of a cup of popcorn kernels into a medium-sized paper bag, fold the bag with a small half-inch fold, and then stick it in the microwave for two or three minutes. Once the kernels are done popping, add some healthy fat such as olive oil or coconut oil. As an alternative to artificial flavor or sugar, use spices and fresh herbs to elevate the taste and add nutritional boosts to your popcorn.
The article – available to Z Living’s 26,244 unique monthly visitors – has recipes for whatever your taste buds are craving; whether it’s something sweet, salty, or spicy, popcorn can satisfy your cravings and keep your health in mind at the same time.
