Light Butter Microwave Popcorn

EverydayCooked

Light Butter Microwave Popcorn is a portion-controlled snack prepared by heating oil-coated kernels in a specialized microwave bag. This variety contains 30-50% less fat than regular butter versions through reduced butter content and modified oil blends, while maintaining flavor with butter-flavored seasonings that may include natural or artificial components. The popped corn retains whole grain benefits with moderate fiber content, offering a lower-calorie alternative for mindful snacking that still delivers the satisfying crunch of traditional popcorn.
