I eat plain air popped popcorn for a low cal snack, but figured that it didn't have any benefits to me other than a great taste that won't add poundage. It's nice to now know that it's good for me too. I am happy to hear the good news about polyphenols in popcorn!

Now I can feel a little better about it the next time I end up eating pop corn for dinner! ;--) I use and air popper, then drizzle the popcorn with seasoned flax oil rather than butter.

And it is a great whole grain too. 94% fat free pop corn is a real favorite of mine. And it is a great whole grain too.

I go with the salt but sometime go nuts and add petipas or peanuts.

I'm so happy to read this. Ever since I discovered Giada's rosemary popcorn recipe, I am obsessed with popcorn. I had never made it on the stove before, and now I will never go back. I have experimented with flavored oils as well. I'm sure this isn't as low-cal as a spray would be, but I still feel great about not eating the microwave stuff (which always burned on me anyway). http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/popcorn-with-rosemary-infused-oil-recipe/index.html Yes!

Polyphenols are wonderful. I love making popcorn, but I've always heard it was a nothing snack—much to my chagrin. I get the microwave popcorn that has no oil and no salt. It just pops in the bag without anything. I sometimes add a quick spray of oil, but quite often, if I salt it when it's very hot, condensation helps the salt stick a bit (not a lot, though), and I can munch away happily. I can easily put away a whole bowl myself, too, although I do try to share. Sometimes. I am so glad to read this! Polyphenols are wonderful.
