Healthy Oil Free Popcorn

tbsp popping corn kernels

Heat a flat bottomed frying pan on medium heat (to about 390°F/200°C).

Add corn kernels to pan, cover with lid and continue heating, shaking pan gently every 20-30s.

Once kernels start popping, shake pan gently every 5-10s.

As soon as popping slows down, turn heat off.

Allow kernels to cool and serve.

Didnt work for me...Tried twice at 4 and at 5...burnt!

I love making popcorn as a snack and can't wait to make this healthy version! Hot tip: using a wok is even better that a flat skillet. It helps the unpopped kernels collect together at the bottom for more even cooking; since using a wok a get maybe 1 unpopped kernel in each batch!

Hi, I just found your site!  Here are my thoughts about oil free popcorn:
Firstly, I feel it is essential to never use nonstick cookware.  It is an endocrine disrupters and can seriously give you cancer.  Beyond that, the chemicals it releases into your food are powerful estrogens that can harm your children and cause premature menarche, gynocomastia and male infertility.  Yuck!  Please always use cast iron or heavy steel pans.

Secondly, oil is essential for healthy brain, lung and heart tissue.  The emphasis ought be on cooking without the oil as the high temps required to cook the popcorn will result  in scortched oil, which is carcinogenic.  You want to make certain that your oils are all unrefined, never heated or fractionated, and from clean plant sources, such as organic olive or organic avocado.  Cold press and unrefined are interchangeable terms. Never ever use canola or rape seed oil, corn oil, palm oil or safflower oil.  All are heavily GMO. and contain toxins which are carcinogenic, even when not heated up and are essentially junk oils better suited to industrial uses.  BTW, if something g says it is organic, it is by definition not irradiated or GMO.  That is the law.

The word to remember when selecting foods for your family is "provenance", which basically means where the foods come from.  People have been taught to avoid salt and fat, but this thinking is scientifically inaccurate,band actually quite dangerous,  Like fats,bout bodies require lots of salt to function, as every bio cellular process requires salt in the tissues to work properly.

  The trick is to distinguish, as with oils, between dangerous over processed salt and raw salt.  Raw salt is a superfood and has been revered since ancient times for its many amazing healing properties and can be consumed liberally by anyone without fear of causing high blood pressure.  In fact, raw salt is a blood pressure normalizer, so if your pressure is too high, raw salt will bring it down very quickly, within seconds causing a significant drop.  If it is too low...well, any salt will bring it up, but I avoid modern salt, as it is denatured.  

"Denatured" is another important word for everyone to learn.  It means, scientifically, that the bioconstiuents, all the natural states and properties of the original, have been destroyed using chemical processes,concluding high heat exposure,vile aching and leaching with chemicals.  When salt is subjected to this treatment, it becomes a toxin, one of the most dangerous.  

Raw salt is marketed under the brand Celtic Sea Salt and you can visit their website to learn much more.  Anything else is dangerous, as it has been chemically altered, including Kosher Salt and Sea Salt.  Salt can be derived from caves in the Hmalayas, and it is pink and dry, or harvested from clean ocean waters.  Chemically, they are a bit different, but your children and all of us, require lots of salt and oil every day to be healthy.
