Question: How healthy is popcorn!?
So, I want to make some popcorn, we have a popcorn maker, it's the kind that is like a hot plate and you use oil, how healthy is this popcorn if I don't add butter or salt!? I do add pepper!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Popcorn by itself is actually very healthy!. Without butter or salt, it's low calorie, low fat, low sodium, and because it's a whole grain, it provides loads of fiber!. It's also very filling, and you can eat three cups of it as a serving size as opposed to, say, a small handful of chips!.
Ideally you should air pop it, but if you do go with a hot plate and oil, be aware that the oil will add fat and calories, but if you use a healthy oil with good fats (like canola) it won't be so bad!. I don't know what oil you have in mind to use, but look into finding the kind with the "good fats!."
I love popcorn! My favorite thing to do is sprinkle a garlic powder on mine! Or a little parmesan cheese!. Or both! This tastes great and isn't too evil in the health department!. LOL Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
