Movies aren't the same without it. A chilly evening in front of the television goes better with it. And even Weight Watchers promotes popcorn as a healthy snack - of course, you'll need the low-fat variety, but popcorn is one of the few snack foods you won't have to consume in such small portions that you're left wanting more. Popped kernels can add fiber to salads and soups. Simply sprinkle a few pieces on top. You can season popcorn after it has popped by tossing items over it, or by placing seasonings in oil before popping corn the old-fashioned way - in oil over a hot stove or flame. Salt isn't the only seasoning recommended for popcorn. Some movie theaters now offer popcorn bars where you can top your popcorn with butter, garlic, cinnamon - all manner of seasonings. Popcorn also can make a tasty dessert when mixed with syrupy combinations, much like Rice Krispie treats combined with melted marshmallows. And if low-carb is on your mind, Poppycock now creates a low-carb version of this sweet popcorn snack.<<
