A Word About Popcorn from Sandy

Everybody likes popcorn.  It is a favorite watching movies snack whether at home or in the theater.  Sure, it is junk food like potato chips, but we can indulge occasionally.  Well wouldn't it be great if there was some magical way to turn popcorn into a healthy snack?

First let's use organic popcorn.  It is far superior to the stuff you buy in the grocery store.  It simply pops up a lot bigger and tastes better.  Next, lets use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.  Coconut oil has many beneficial effects.  It can boost brain function, lower cholesterol, help you lose weight, and even boost brain function.  Read more here. 

Finally, let's add something other than salt.  Let's sneak in some really good spices like turmeric.  Turmeric has been used by the Chinese for all sorts of ailments.  Contemporary studies have shown it is an antioxidant and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.  The problem is, most people don't want cook lots of curry or some other dish which calls for turmeric.  If you mix it with black pepper, salt, garlic powder, celery seed, cayenne pepper, and a few other spices, you have a spice blend that tastes great on popcorn, not to mention eggs, hamburgers and other common foods.  We call our blend, Popcorn Power-up.

It's true, popcorn can join the ranks of carrot sticks and yogurt as a healthy snack.  If you want to lose weight, help your joints, lower your cholesterol, and fight cancer, it is as easy as popping up a big bowl of popcorn and watching your favorite movie.  Who knew?
