Butter Microwave Popcorn

Butter Microwave Popcorn

Everyday

Butter microwave popcorn is a pre-packaged snack consisting of dried popcorn kernels coated with artificial butter flavoring and preservatives in a microwave-safe bag. When heated, the kernels pop into ready-to-eat snacks that typically contain high levels of saturated fat and sodium compared to air-popped alternatives. While convenient, many commercial varieties contain artificial additives and partially hydrogenated oils that may contribute to trans fat content.
