Speaking of cooking your popcorn, have you thought about how you’ll do that? There are a variety of different ways to cook popcorn, and how you plan to prepare your popcorn might influence which popcorn you choose to buy. Some popcorn is better made and packaged for microwave cooking, while other popcorn is much easier to measure and place on the stove or in your air popper.
Another thing to think about as you get ready to purchase popcorn is whether or not you want it to come pre-flavored or pre-seasoned. Many of the options on this list simply include the kernels. This is great for easy popping and preparation and for the ability to flavor your popcorn to your own tastes and preferences. However, this does add an extra step that is necessary to complete before serving and eating. Other options on this list include extras, such as butter, oil, or salt, inside the packaging to make for easy one-step preparation. However, individual eaters may want more or less butter and salt than what’s provided in the bag, so some tweaking or alteration of the recipe might be necessary in these cases.
Lastly, how much popcorn do you need? Are you buying for just a few people, or for a crowd? Keep in mind that popcorn does have an expiration date, and so while the idea of always having popcorn on hand is nice, you’ll want to make sure that you aren’t buying so much popcorn that you won’t be able to eat all of it before it’s past its expiration.

A: There are really two parts to this question. The first part is about what dietary restrictions popcorn can or cannot meet. Many popcorns are gluten-free, whole grain, and non-GMO verified. Other options might also be organic, kosher certified, diacetyl-free, tree nut-free, peanut-free, lactose free, or vegan. If you follow a stricter diet, you may want to check the ingredients and item description for the specific popcorn you’re buying before you make a purchasing decision. The other part of this question is if there are any unique benefits provided by eating popcorn. While it’s true that popcorn can be an unhealthy snack in many cases, this often comes from things that are added to the popcorn before consumption, such as high amounts of butter and salt. There are popcorn kernels on this list that can make very wise and sensible snack choices. They might be plant-based and contain antioxidants, or at the very least, many of the choices on this list are low-calories snacks.

However, many people choose to cook popcorn in a different way, so that may or may not be a benefit to you.
