Piranas like popcorn.
Not only does popcorn taste good, it is good for you, but you have to be careful. Movie popcorn is loaded with fat and salt. So what is a healthy boy (or girl) to do? Make sure you select low fat microwave popcorns at the store, sneak your own into the movies, and if you want to save a lot of money…make your own:
Pirana Popper
1/4 cup good quality popcorn
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or popcorn salt
your favorite seasoning mix
Paper lunch bagToss the popcorn with the olive oil, salt, and seasoning mix in the paper bag. Fold the top of the bag over to close. Place the bag in the microwave and microwave on high for 2 minutes to 3 minutes, or until there are about 5 seconds between pops.
(NOTE: Popcorn salt is a super-fine salt that is designed especially for sticking to food such as popcorn. It has the taste of regular table salt, but its granules are much finer.
