Where did the traditions go and do your children even know how we popped our popcorn when we were children - without the help of a microwave and special packages. The answer is probably NO.
We all love and eat popcorn often, but no one tries to grow corn on their own, pick the cobs and peel the tiny grains from them. It is much easier for you to buy the package from the store, put it in the microwave for 4 minutes and take out ready-made flavored and salted popcorn.
But like any good thing, there is a catch. Most of these packages contain low-quality fats that are harmful to the body. Studies show that trans fats, which we consume with chips and popcorn-like packaged foods, increase cholesterol levels in our blood, and this leads to the development of various heart diseases.
Official figures show that in America alone, 16 billion boxes of popcorn sold in one year, and how many more are made at home. The situation is far more serious than we imagine and this situation should not be dismissed lightly, but it is good to take some serious measures.
We will personally think seriously the next time we reach for the packed popcorn stand. Isn't it better to go to the market and find a grandmother who has grown the berries with the help of only her two hands - without detergents and without harmful chemicals.
So on the one hand you will be sure that you are consuming a quality product and you will prepare it yourself, and on the other hand you will help this grandmother to earn pennies for today's bread.
