The Microwave Effect on Popcorn
The microwave might have seemed to threaten the traditional popcorn business. You get a flat bag, pop it in the nuker and in about two and a half minutes you have a bag of edible popcorn with no mess and no hassle. Sound great? Well, there are a few problems with this.
First, it doesn’t taste the same. Microwave popcorn has a funny smell. It definitely doesn’t smell like the movie theater and quite often you end up with not only a bag of almost burnt popcorn but you also end up with a bottom of the bag that’s littered with that disgusting paste they put in the bag to season the popcorn as well as many, many unpopped kernels. What’s in that paste anyway? There has been a lot of press about dangers of toxicity to lungs of workers who work with this substance for microwave popcorn makers. Diacetyl is the culprit that is getting the bad press.
Increasing health concerns are rising regarding microwaves. Many people simply don’t trust the machines that alter the chemistry of food. Some alternative health specialists are suggesting the best use of a microwave is to kill bacteria on household sponges but that’s about it.

Health Reasons
People are on a quest for healthier snacking. Instead of chowing down on high calorie and low nutrition snacks, opting for popcorn is a great plan. Hot air poppers don’t need any oil which minimizes the caloric intake of popcorn. Going easy on the salt and butter makes popcorn a great snack that you can eat in large quantities. Therefore you can actually get full when eating it without going crazy on the calories or fat.
Popcorn has a lot of fiber in it and the average person does not get their recommended daily value of fiber which is 25 grams. Lack of fiber causes all sorts of health issues now and especially in later life. Popcorn contains more than a gram of fiber per cup so can be a healthy addition to your diet.
Whole grains are part of a healthy diet and when you can eat more than a small handful of a snack, such as with popcorn without worrying about calories, you’ll be more satisfied and more likely to stay on your dieting plan.
The rising popularity of vintage popcorn makers for home theaters shows that popcorn definitely is not becoming obsolete. You can even buy smaller versions of hot air popcorn poppers that are replicas of old fashioned popcorn carts.
