Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

Use a large pot or Dutch oven. This will give the popcorn plenty of room to pop and prevent it from burning.
Use a high-quality popcorn. Fresh, non-GMO popcorn will pop better and taste better than old or stale popcorn.
Don't add oil to the pot. Oil can make the popcorn greasy and soggy.
Keep the pot covered. This will help the popcorn to pop evenly.
Shake the pot frequently. This will also help the popcorn to pop evenly and prevent it from burning.
Remove the popcorn from the heat as soon as it stops popping. This will prevent it from burning.
Season the popcorn immediately. This will help the seasonings to stick to the popcorn.
Let the popcorn cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent the popcorn from becoming soggy.
