The Healthiest Popcorn

13. May, 2009

This is THE healthiest version of popcorn available. It has very few calories and even less fat. The only 'problem' is that you have to own a refillable pump spray hot-air popping machine. They are however dead cheap to buy from most stores that sell home appliances or electronic goods and will last you a long time. They are a good investment if you are like me and my husband who both love popcorn but are not happy about the amount of fat we need to use when making a pot of popcorn the old fashioned way.

The Healthiest Popcorn

Serves 1-2 people

Ingredients

  • 90 grams (3¼ oz) popcorn maize
  • 40 millilitres (1½ fluid oz) water and 10 millilitres (¼ fluid oz) olive oil mixed together in a refillable pump spray (you will need a lot less than this amount it's just easier to use when not too empty)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (Himalaya or sea salt)

Preparation

  1. Place a large bowl on the table and squeeze a few squirts water/oil mixture into the bowl.
  2. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt into the bowl.
  3. Pour the popcorn into the hot-air popping machine.
  4. As soon as the popcorn comes out, rub it into the sides of the bowl so that the popcorn will absorb the water/oil/salt mixture.
  5. Whilst the popcorn is still coming out, give the popcorn a few squirts water/oil and a pinch of the salt. Repeat this a couple of times. You will have to work very quickly as the popping only takes a few minutes.
  6. When the popping has finished, give it a final squirt of water/oil mixture and add a pinch of salt.
  7. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • I am not that keen on melted things in my popcorn but you can add whatever you want (sweet or savoury).
  • You can also add various spices along with the salt such as paprika og garlic powder if you like.
