Buttered popcorn is a classic snack made by topping freshly popped corn kernels with melted butter and a dash of salt. Originating from American cuisine, popcorn itself is a whole grain, rich in dietary fiber, and naturally low in fat and calories. When air-popped and minimally seasoned, it can be a nutritious snack option that supports healthy digestion. However, buttered popcorn elevates its flavor with added fats and sodium, which can increase its calorie content and contribute to excessive sodium intake if consumed in large quantities. Packed with crunch and satisfying texture, it remains a popular choice at movie theaters and gatherings. To make it healthier, consider using a light drizzle of butter or substituting with heart-healthy oils, and controlling portion sizes to enjoy this beloved treat guilt-free.
