Did you know popcorn is the only snack that is a 100% unprocessed whole grain?
That’s GOOD!
Unfortunately about 43% of regular microwave popcorn is fat. That’s bad.
But if you use low-fat microwave popcorn or an air popper to pop your corn, the fat content deflates! Again, that’s good!
Top your popcorn with melted butter, Parmesan cheese and savory dried oregano and the fat content shoots back up. Hmmm, that’s not so good even though the combination of these three toppings makes the popcorn taste AMAZING!
