Make A Healthier Snack With The Help Of A Hot Air Popcorn Popper

A lot of people will immediately turn up their nose if you say to them they have to use a hot air popcorn popper to pop their popcorn. They've heard many stories about how that method of popcorn is lacks flavor and they want no part of it, not really wanting to give it a try. But the thing is, these tales all come from people who are used to eating either that awful microwave popcorn which is loaded with salt and a lot of chemicals which are supposed to resemble butter, or movie popcorn which actually is drenched in salt and butter. So they actually do not know what the POPCORN tastes like, just the toppings. Therefore they're assuming that since popcorn popped in a hot air popcorn popper is a lot more healthy for you, it should also taste bad compared to the "good" stuff they're accustomed to.

Indeed, it's true that if you pop your popcorn in a hot air popcorn popper, instead of using oil, it is much healthier for you, however that is only part of the tale. You only use handful of oil whenever you pop popcorn and it's not sufficient to kill you anytime soon. And even though there are some oils which are better than others, it's still oil and it does have a certain reputation for naughtiness.. And that bad reputation is The reason why a lot of people want their popcorn popped in oil - it adds to the excitement! If you are likely to have a healthy snack like popcorn, the least that you can do is spice it up a bit and pop the stuff in oil!

If you were to compare plain popcorn - with no butter or salt or any other type of flavoring - simply popcorn to popcorn, you would feel a difference in flavor between popcorn popped in oil and popcorn popped in a hot air popcorn popper. The popcorn popped in the hot air popper seems like pure, unadulterated corn. It's light and airy and it tastes like corn once you eat it. When you pop popcorn in oil it turns out a bit smaller, relatively denser and a little bit chewier because it's soaked up some of the moisture from the oil. It'll also take in the flavour from the oil that will make it taste very different than the air popped popcorn.

But this is my point. It doesn't matter how you pop it, popcorn is popcorn. The minute it comes out of the popper it's anyone's game! Add your butter and salt or your cinnamon and sugar. Go ahead and add your peanut butter or your chocolate. After which you don't even taste the popcorn anyway!

So if you are going to drench you popcorn in calories and cholesterol before you decide to have it anyway - and who doesn't! - then why not begin with a much healthier base and pop your popcorn in a hot air popcorn popper? You'll save a few calories anyway, plus some grams of cholesterol, and you will be beginning with a popcorn that just plain tastes better prior to you even add all that other stuff on it. If you are going to have chocolate coated caramel popcorn you owe it to yourself to shed all the calories and cholesterol you can. Just leave the bottle of oil on the counter. No one has to know but you!
