Q: How much popcorn will one cup of kernels make?

Popcorn.. Though you might just think about ‘the movies’ when you hear the word, the fact is that popcorn is a perfect affordable and versatile ingredient for delicious and nutritious snacks. This often overlooked food product is actually among the healthiest low-calorie food items. Popcorn is a whole grain that is low in calories and fat and is a complex carbohydrate (120 calories per 5 cups and a 6g of dietary fiber, 24%!).

I’m not talking about your standard microwave bags here; pre-flavored bagged popcorn is generally quite high in sodium and fat. I’m talking about all-natural popcorn kernels here, those that are cooked on the stove top.

When you think of popcorn as an alternative to snacking on chips.. the healthy choice is obvious. What’s most amazing is that you don’t have to stop there; there are a number of ways you can use this amazing food!

· Top soup or salad servings with popcorn instead of croutons
· Combine popcorn with dried fruit and nuts to create a custom snack mix
· Create popcorn dessert bars

Though you can generally buy loose popping corn at most supermarkets.. There is a great company out there that puts out the full gamut of popcorn products, a real one-stop shop for pop.. corn that is.

Kernel Season’s makes just about everything you need to create any kind of popcorn you can imagine. Their line of products includes Popping corn (loose or bagged), Popcorn spritzers (no fat, no calorie, 100% natural butter spray!!) and all the popcorn seasonings you can imagine (Parmesan/Garlic and Ranch being my two faves thus far).

While the actual popping corn is top-notch, the real winner here is the Kernel Season’s Popcorn Spritzer. The spray is 100% natural (yes, natural), made with a blend of canola, sunflower and corn oils. This ‘butter’ spray gives popcorn the taste of movie theater popcorn, with zero fat per serving (yes, zero fat per serving!). There is nothing ‘real’ like it on the market.

Additionally, adding one of the many seasoning flavors brings a whole new complexity to the mix.. And don’t worry, there’s only 0% fat and 2 calories per serving! Did snacking just get fat free??!!

Flavors include: White Cheddar, Butter, Nacho Cheddar, Parmesan and Garlic, Ranch, Sour Cream and Onion, Salt, Caramel, Kettle Corn, and Jalapeno

Kernel Season’s Popcorn Spritzer and Raw Kernel Popping Popcorn are available at grocery stores across America or online at www.NoMoreNakedPopcorn.com
