What are the Best Microwave Popcorn Brands?
Is Microwave Popcorn A Healthy Snack?
Popcorn is a whole grain. The light, fluffy kernels are naturally low in fat and calories and a great source of fiber. Because the water content is low, popcorn is also a significant source of polyphenols. A single serving contains about 300 mg. That's more than many fruits and vegetables.
There are many sound reasons to choose microwave popcorn over other crunchy snacks. But like most popular treats, the potential impact on your health depends on the ingredients in the package. At CVS, you'll find several popular brands, including Skinny Pop®, ACT II®, and Orville Redenbacher's®. As you browse your options, you'll see just how appealing microwave popcorn can be when it's preservative-free, made with simple ingredients, or features chemical-free packaging.
How To Make Microwave Popcorn
Making microwave popcorn is easy. But if you pass over the manufacturer's popping instructions, you could easily end up with a bag of under popped or scorched kernels. One of the biggest mistakes less-experienced poppers make is trusting the "popcorn" feature on their microwave oven.
Instead, set your timer as directed by the manufacturer (possibly 2-4 minutes). Before you place the bag in your microwave, remove the protective outer wrapper. Then unfold the bag and place it with the correct side facing upward. Rather than walking away, stop your microwave oven when the popping slows to 1-2 seconds between "pops."
Does Microwave Popcorn Expire?
Microwave popcorn tends to "go bad" faster than a container of plain popcorn kernels. The oil, seasonings, and buttery flavoring agents limit the shelf-life of the corn. Although a forgotten box of microwave popcorn may be safe to eat for a short time after the "best before" or "best by" date stamped on the box, there are no guarantees.
The date printed on the packaging tells you how long to expect your snack to remain fresh and flavorful. If you happen to pop a bag of microwave popcorn that's past its prime, you'll likely discover that fewer kernels pop. If the oil has gone bad, you might also notice an unpleasant flavor, odd aroma, or strange texture. Freezing individual packages will not extend their shelf-life.
