Watching a film, whether it is comfortably seated at the bottom of your sofa or on a cinema seat, is very often accompanied by small delicacies to nibble on which it is very difficult to do without. If we generally think of squares of apples or carrot sticks when we want to peck healthy, a flagship delicacy in our cinemas is actually healthier than we think!
Impossible for a majority of French people to go see a film at the cinema without their favorite delicacy, popcorn. These popcorn seeds are on the rise and rank among the top favorite snacks for their inimitable taste. Regrettably, however, popcorn is considered bad both for its low nutritional intake, but also for being too high in fat, sugar or salt. A bad reputation which is mainly due to the recipes offered in cinemas.
However, if we take a closer look at the health benefits of “homemade” popcorn, we might be surprised! Rich in vitamin K, folate, potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron and copper, popcorn actually has very good nutritional values for a rather low calorie ratio! No more searching for hours on the web for the list of healthy snacks to snack on when the mood takes you, popcorn is actually one of the best snacks when it’s homemade without added sugar or salt. .

Popcorn, this greediness allied with weight loss
It’s time to bust the myth that popcorn is a calorie delicacy to avoid when you want to lose weight. Homemade without the addition of salt or sugar, 25 g of hard popped corn contains only 120 or even 150 kcal, a huge difference with the recipes offered in our dark rooms which contain between 730 and even 1120 kcal for the same portion. Scientific studies have even proven that popcorn eaters have a lower BMI than non-popcorn eaters.
Popcorn when it is homemade and without added fat or sugar and salt is even an excellent ally in weight loss, because it allows you to quickly reach a feeling of satiety without significant caloric intake. A nutritionist, Violette Babocsay, reveals her recipe for slimming popcorn. Very simple to make, you just need to take 25 g of hard corn kernels for a teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil and heat them over medium heat in a saucepan. After covering the pan and when the first grains burst, you must then lower the heat until all the grains have hatched. It’s time to have fun!
