Light Popcorn

EverydayCooked

Light popcorn is an air-popped whole grain snack characterized by its minimal fat content and reduced calorie count compared to oil-cooked varieties. This preparation method preserves the popcorn’s natural fiber while creating a fluffy, crisp texture, typically seasoned with light salt or herbs rather than butter. As a low-energy-density food, it provides volume for satiety with fewer calories, making it a strategic choice for weight-conscious snackers seeking crunchy satisfaction.
