The Snack We Just Aren?t Eating Enough Of and Where to Get The Best Popcorn Supp

Posted by empirepopcorn on September 22nd, 2014

Do you find yourself craving a big bowl of popcorn whenever you pay a visit to the cinema? What about when you fire up your home DVD player for a movie night in with your other half? As it happens, popcorn is one of the healthiest snacks you can eat. Here we look at why it’s so great for us and where to get the best POPCORN SUPPLIES in the UK.

The reason popcorn is one of the healthiest snacks we can eat is down to its high polyphenol content. Polyphenols are a chemical found in plant foods that can help to neutralise free radicals. You know those nasty little things that damage cells and contribute to horrid rapid aging? Well, popcorn just so happens to have one of the highest levels of polyphenols out of any plant food including most fruit. Popcorn also has more antioxidants in total than other snack foods we consume as well as a high fibre count. Sounds perfect doesn’t it? Whilst it might not have a particularly impressive amount of fibre it can still contribute to the amount we generally need due to our poor diets we often resort to…Friday night takeaways that leak into Saturday, Sunday and the beginning of the working week sound familiar?

At Empire Popcorn and Confectionary Company they know only too well the wonderful health benefits associated with eating popcorn but they do advise to avoid microwave and processed popcorn. As with any food, preparation and where you get it from is key so don’t run out to the supermarket and load up on microwave popcorn. It would also be wise not to eat too much of the popcorn at the movies as the synthetic fats and processed salt used to flavour it is less than ideal. The healthiest popcorn is made either fresh and delivered fresh such as the gourmet flavoured popcorn from Empire or by cooking it yourself from quality kernels such as those sold at Empire too. Even when it comes from a well-established company like Empire, popcorn is very well priced so will never break the bank.

As with most customers, the gourmet flavours they offer tend to satisfy their cravings more than enough, but if you really want to create your very own flavour or simply enjoy the process of making it yourself then buying the unpopped kernels would be the perfect option. Empire’s advise? Try cooking in quality oil such as rapeseed or even coconut oil, then once popped and whilst still nice and hot throw on a nice amount of fine sea salt and you’ll have a super healthy snack to enjoy whilst watching the latest blockbuster.
