Microwave Popcorn, Unsalted

EverydayUnsalted

Microwave popcorn (unsalted) is a convenience snack made from dried corn kernels packaged with oil in a heat-resistant bag designed for microwave preparation. Unlike pre-salted varieties, this version contains no added sodium, offering the natural nutty flavor and crisp texture of air-popped corn with the ease of microwave cooking. It retains the whole-grain benefits of popcorn—including dietary fiber—while providing a lower-sodium option for those monitoring salt intake.
