Here’s five reasons why we love eating popcorn!
Popcorn is healthy
Popcorn offers plenty of health benefits. For instance, did you know that air-popped popcorn contains way less calories than potato chips? It is also categorized as a low GI, whole wheat product, giving it properties that help to decrease the risk of diabetes and heart diseases such as low blood pressure and cholesterol.
Popcorn is affordable and tasty
Here’s a fun fact about popcorn: during the Great Depression in 1930s America, popcorn became the staple food for many Americans who couldn’t afford average snacks. Selling popcorn kept movie theatre doors open and helped feed America.
Today, popcorn is still an affordable food offering relatively good nutrition and – depending on how you flavour it – great taste!
Popcorn is versatile
Speaking of taste … whether you’re a sweet tooth or you prefer something salty, there’s a popcorn out there for you! From gourmet flavours like salted caramel to chocolate covered popcorn or even popcorn dressed in icing sugar, there’s no shortage of good, sweet toppings!
And the same goes for savoury popcorn! Butter (of course!), salt, sour cream and chives, salt and vinegar, paprika, wasabi, honey and mustard … name the salty treat of your choosing and you are bound to find a salty flavour to your liking. Check out our delicious flavours here!
Popcorn is nostalgic
From the cinema to your couch, a movie isn’t complete without a serving of popcorn! Nor is a children’s party… there’s nothing like the aroma of buttery popcorn to make you travel back in time and relive Fridays at the movies, or movie nights at a friend’s place as a teenager.
Don’t deny it – eating popcorn takes you back to some of your happiest childhood memories!
Popcorn is quick and convenient
What can be easier than placing a bag of popcorn in the microwave oven and waiting for the popping sound to slow and eventually fade … you don’t need more than four minutes to make microwave popcorn! And even if you go through a tad more trouble and make your popcorn on the stovetop, it’ll still be ready within minutes. How convenient!
