EverydayCooked

Butter-free popcorn is a whole-grain snack made by air-popping or dry-roasting corn kernels without added fats or dairy. This preparation preserves the natural crunch and mild corn flavor while significantly reducing calories and saturated fat compared to buttered varieties. A high-fiber, low-density snack, it serves as a versatile base for custom seasonings and aligns with vegan, dairy-free, or reduced-fat dietary preferences.
