This may seem strange, but one tiny thing I have become very thankful for recently, is the discovery of organic popcorn.
You see, I'm terribly allergic to corn, corn-syrup, dextrose, malto-dextrin... anything having to do with or made from corn.
But I love popcorn.
I gave it up about 8 years ago. I've cheated a few times and had it anyway (my reaction is not life threatening, just painful and annoying)... but I've always paid for it with a week of severe headaches.
However, Pinterest to the rescue!! I read an article about organic foods not being GMO versions of the food. I took a risk and tried the organic, since I know that GMO foods do cause a problem with me.
Success! Absolutely NO allergic reaction and it is SO much better than "regular" popcorn.
Microwave Popcorn {From Organic Kernels}
1/3 Cup - organic popcorn kernels
2 Tbsp - butter (room temp)
1/4 Tsp - salt
1 - brown paper bag
- Place kernels and salt into brown bag.
- Fold edges of bag over twice (about 1 1/2 inches each time) and crimp as best as possible.
- Place in microwave with folded edge DOWN.
- Pop for 2 minutes, 20 seconds.
- Remove from microwave and immediately add butter.
- Reseal bag and shake vigorously for 1 minute.
- Pour into bowl and enjoy!
Let me know if you try this! I'd love to know what you think!
