Product Review: Sea Salt and Vinegar Microwave Popcorn

I adore popcorn.  It’s been a staple snack food  in my life since I was a kid.  As long as your popcorn is not popped in nasty oil, loaded with butter and/or salt, it is a pretty healthy snack.  It’s low in calories and full of fiber.  There have been some great studies lately about the health benefit of popcorn.  Google it.

I recently came across individual packets of Orville Redenbacher’s Sea Salt and Vinegar Popcorn.  Being from the East Coast, I’m a big fan of vinegar and salt on my fries, so I thought I’d give it a whirl.

How does it work?  You pop the popcorn like you would any bag of popcorn and then mix in the salt/vinegar powder and serve.  I mixed in a bowl, but I am sure you could pour the contents of the flavor packet into the popcorn bag and shake.  It is pretty darn good and low in calories – definitely better than butter.  The one drawback, in my opinion, is that the flavoring comes in a powder from.  When eating the powder, it can kind of tickle your throat.  You’d need to try it yourself to see what I mean.

Otherwise – great snack!
