Popcorn is good food
Changing to healthy ways-one step at a time.
I love my popcorn treat and started changing how I now make it. .
I’ve always believed popcorn to be a healthy snack and so at the office I had it in the office for employees.
What I like about it, it’s a good source of fiber, low in calories, and let’s face it easy to make (three minutes or less with a microwave, and its all in a big bowl).
But did you ever read the label. What you will see is that it is filled with artificial flavors, sodium and fat. Not good. Another way is needed. And so I changed a habit to a new one.
This Christmas, I purchased an air-pop machine that uses kernels. I add lots of spices to make it tasty, especially garlic, grated parmesan cheese, and Mrs. Dash. As you can tell by this website, I like things easy to use, so I find even using a pot, olive oil and kernels, is too much work. The popper is great and easy to clean too.
With that said, excuse me, it’s munching time so I’m off to make a bowl of popcorn, all for myself.
Some info about health benefits of corn:
1. A good source of many nutrients including thiamin (vitamin B1), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), folate, dietary fiber, vitamin C, phosphorus and manganese.
2. Excellent for cardiovascular health, and its contribution to heart health lies not just in its fiber, but in the significant amounts of folate, a B vitamin good for important metabolic processes in the body.
