Popcorn is an easy, quick and satisfying REAL snack food.
I use a POPCO Popcorn Popper to make popcorn. I am not normally an advocate of the microwave, but when it comes to making popcorn, I am. I can make oil-free popcorn easily using this popper.
Feel free to use oil, but be careful if you are having IBS symptoms because oils can cause adverse reactions. I don’t recommend that you eat popcorn while experiencing painful IBS symptoms, but once you get your symptoms under control, popcorn makes a good snack. Most can have up to 7 cups popped.
Ingredients
- POPCO Popcorn Popper (or similar)
- 1/4 cup of unpopped kernels.
- Oil is optional
- salt (or other seasoning) to taste, if desired
Directions: (Using Microwave Popper)
- Add kernels to the popper (and any other desired ingredients)
- Cover with a lid
- Put in the microwave and press the ‘popcorn’ button (about 2/15 minutes)
- Eat directly from the bowl or transfer to another heat-safe bowl.
Note: Since popcorn is a grain, it should be avoided while on all healing diets. Yet, popcorn is a great REAL FOOD snack. Try using NON-GMO and organic ingredients when possible
Suggestion: Crumble your favorite Low-FODMAP Kale Chips over popcorn, YUMMY!
