Popcorn - America’s Snack!

by A.L.Castle

Popcorn is consumed more in America than anywhere else in the world. Americans eat more than 17 billion quarts of popcorn. We each consume more than 60 quarts per year.

Americans love their popcorn with salt and butter. We even like our gourmet popcorn in different flavors. We add candy coatings and different flavors. We make it cool ranch, cinnamon, blue raspberry, pizza and more. We even add nuts and caramels to it.

Popcorn can be enjoyed on a weight loss program too. It makes a great snack since it is whole grain. Just don’t add butter or candy flavorings. Make popcorn in an air popper for even less calories. To keep seasonings sticking to air popped popcorn , just give it a quick spritz with a buttered flavored oil.

Popcorn is a fun snack too! It’s easy to make and easy to travel with. Make your favorite flavored popcorn and store it in zip top plastic bags and it can stay fresh for over a week. Pop up different flavors for the whole family.

Everyone loves gourmet popcorn! It’s a treat thats easy to make too. It’s easy to make different kinds of gourmet popcorn with all of the glazes and seasonings that are available. Glazes are usually added to the popcorn popper before popping. They are not for use in air poppers. The glaze coats the popcorn for easy eating.

Popcorn is one of the best treats for eating while watching movies at home. The cost to make a bowl of popcorn is pennies compared to the same amount of packaged snacks like chips. Popcorn is much better for you also.
