Popcorn has been a perfect snack for most families while watching TV. It is available in many flavors including caramel, salted, tomato, cheese, pickles with dill, salt and vinegar, cheese, white cheddar, holiday corn, and white popcorn.

Many people consider popcorn a diet food since it is sugar-free, light, fluffy, and easy to digest. Popcorn contains healthy carbohydrates, making it a good source of energy. Popcorn is a whole food and a healthy source of fiber. Popcorn is a great option that works to curb hunger between meals. People can feast on popcorn instead of starving themselves and staying hungry until the next meal.

Popcorn is available in two varieties, buttered and unbuttered. Large buttered popcorn typically contains 1,500 calories per cup. However, for the diet-conscious, there is unbuttered popcorn available that contains only about 50 calories per cup.

Unbuttered popcorn is a good staple for a low-calorie diet. Unbuttered popcorn can get boring and tasteless after a while. There are many things people can do to make unbuttered popcorn a tastier snack. A pinch of cinnamon, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and onion salt, peanuts and raisins can add flavor. These are options that make the unbuttered popcorn a little sweeter or saltier to suit the palate.

People can make popcorn at home or buy it ready-to-use at local stores. There are supermarkets that sell sugar-free and reduced-calorie caramelized corn, salted butter-free instant popcorn, and many other varieties. Corn kernels are also available and can be popped at home. People can also choose from many different colors and types of popcorn and popcorn oils at grocery stores. However, all varieties of colored popcorn display a white cast, but each color has its own appearance, texture, and most importantly, flavor.
