I love popcorn. Glistering with mouth watering butter, salted up to put me back in the hospital I should add (ok folks, stop drooling... keyboards don't like that very much... things start to smoke and all). Well after being told of my cardiac condition with the operation to boot, I can't eat like that anymore. Need to make things healthy now...
Everyone says that popcorn is a very healthy and low fat snack. After careful review of how I made it (after the operation, when I really was trying to be healthy), with just enough oil in the pot to get the stuff to come out and a little on top of the finished product, I discovered that it was not as low fat as I had thought. The Tbs or so of oil in the pot had about 7-8 G (olive oil) then the Tbs or so of margerine had about 6-7 G (no salt margerine)... well this is not much of a low fat snack.
So, I just got a hot air popcorn popper. Well that takes care of the fat from the pot. Just tried it actually. It's good. Dry... but good. I can honestly say I don't think I'll eat much of it if I have to eat it with nothing on it. Kinda taste like paper pulp in a way. So my question to all you healthy snackers is the obvious one
What do you put on your popcorn?
