Sweet popcorn
Overview
Have your children ever been attracted to the deliciously fragrant popcorn outside? Usually what you see outside is popcorn made from popcorn. Mommies, you can pop healthy popcorn from small corn in a wok at home. Today is sweet popcorn. When the outside popcorn is processed, in order to make the popcorn taste more attractive, a lot of margarine is added, and some flavors are also added to some flavors of popcorn. In order to make the popcorn more beautiful, some pigments are added to it to give it a beautiful coat. Margarine brings us excess energy and trans fatty acids. The extra energy will bring obesity closer to us. Trans fatty acids will reduce high-density lipoproteins in the body, increase low-density lipoproteins, and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Too much artificial coloring may cause ADHD in children. Making your own popcorn can be very healthy, and corn itself is rich in nutrients, making popcorn both delicious and nutritious. Of course, it is still a puffed food, so it’s not bad to eat once in a while.

Add butter to the pan and heat over low heat. Butter gives popcorn a rich aroma. Yuzi Mom said: Many high-end popcorns use coconut oil, palm oil and other non-trans fats to make popcorn. In addition, corn itself is rich in nutrients, which can also make popcorn delicious and nutritious, making it very healthy!

Add the corn kernels, turn on high heat, and cover the pot. Yuzi’s mother said: I used to use ordinary dry corn kernels to pop them! Explode! Explode! Why can't it explode? ! Well, later I bought special popcorn corn online, and I could make it in one go.

You can hear the crackling sound in about 1 minute.

After hearing the crackling sound, turn down the heat to low, do not lift the lid of the pot, pick up the wok with your hands and keep shaking it for about 3 minutes. The sound gradually becomes smaller, and when the sound almost disappears, you can open the lid of the pot.

You can see that the corn kernels have been popped into popcorn. Immediately add 1 tablespoon of sugar, then stir with a spatula. When the sugar melts and touches the popcorn, turn off the heat. The sweet popcorn is done. There are still a few unpopped ones below, it’s okay, don’t wait any longer, the rest will become mushy if you pop them again. Yuzi Mom said: Some strawberry-flavored popcorn, chocolate popcorn, and even cheese popcorn have strawberry powder, chocolate powder or cheese powder added in this step.

Remember to keep it sealed! Since popcorn is susceptible to moisture, it will lose its crispy and delicious fresh taste when it gets damp, so popcorn is not easy to store for too long. Eat it while it is fresh. It can be done in 5 minutes. You don’t need to do too much at one time.
