A movie marathon may not be everyone's idea of how to (wisely) spend the last day of the year, but when was the last time you put your feet up and let the television just wash over you while you have a remote control in one hand a tub of popcorn goodness in the other?

I’ve got great news for popcorn lovers all around the world. Popcorn has many, great health benefits. What makes this news even more fantastic is that it comes at a time that corn is getting a bad rap in many corners. However, the negative aspects to consuming corn products are mostly related to corn syrup which is an ultra-processed corn by-product that is no better than eating bowls of sugar. But, a kernel of popcorn is magical and full of healthy goodness.

Caramel corn just might be the perfect snack. After all, don't we all love tasting a little of the salty and sweet on our tongue?

It can be done, and you are the one who can do it. Delicious gourmet popcorn can be made at home, your home. However, before you can popcorn kernels that will please the experts in your family, you have got to understand popcorn kernels, popcorn popping oil, and popcorn salt.

OK, OK. Relax - we're not going to get into an existential, deep ponderance here. We were just thinking recently about the word "kernel." Maybe it's because we are around kernels of corn all day and night around here, that we are having one of those days where a word we hear and use so often is not white noise anymore. This is one day where we stop on the word "kernel" and pause to consider it.

We feel that popcorn should be an important part of virtually any form of entertainment, though we know it has generally been associated with movies. We are aware of a smartphone app called Popcorn Worthy that allows users to rate movies.

Given its enduring popularity, it's safe to say that popcorn is a staple movie marathon food: not too heavy on the stomach that creates discomfort while enjoying a show, and not too complicated, either, to eat on the go. It’s also very portable as it is lightweight when cooked; if you have the equipment, you can pack a week’s worth of snacks in one medium-sized brown bag.

Corn is an interesting grain. And a vegetable, but it's mostly a grain.
Just think about how versatile corn is as a grain. Ora vegetable, but mostly a grain.
It can be a vegetable used as a side dish with a family dinner. It can come on the cob or off it. It can also be used to make cornbread which can go well with many different meal options. It can be used in cereals and as a sweetner in soda (corn syrup), and can be used in making various breads (corn meal) and even in our gas tanks as ethanol.

The Friday night movie marathon staple just got elevated from an all-time favorite snack to one of the healthiest foods around.
Popcorn is undeniably a mainstay of household cupboards and microwave ovens, to say nothing of its coveted status in the movie industry. We love it natural, drenched in butter, coated in cheese or chocolate, and served in bags, buckets or tins. Popcorn's commercial appeal, however, has somewhat overshadowed its nutritional value which scientists are rediscovering. With this new finding, popcorn has just become more than a snack that you eat by default before plopping down the couch for hours of sitcom rerun.
