Sage Valley Lite Organic Popcorn

Popcorn has always been my healthy go-to snack and now it seems more than ever that everyone else is realizing that how great it is. However with the boom in popcorn’s popularity there are more and more microwave popcorn varieties popping up (ha!) Unbeknownst to consumers, they aren’t always the healthiest choice, Since there are links to various cancers and reproductive system damage and usually including Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) used to make the popcorn so tasty. (Source: Scary Facts About Microwave Popcorn) The quick 2 minutes in the microwave may do more damage to your health than you may think, it is no longer a great health food, while packaged in its microwaveable form.

Popping your own is a sure fire way to get around such potential health issues, but sometimes there just isn’t enough time for that. I have already taken the guess work out of shopping for an alternative; Sage Valley Lite Organic Popcorn. This pre-popped popcorn is made with organic canola oil and sea salt. Making it highly addictive and not greasy at all. The sea salt give it a great light flavor without the need of any other seasoning. It even claims to have 50% less oil than regular popcorn.

I would use this alternative to the microwave type anytime. The only thing I dislike was that compared to microwave popcorn it had an awful lot of kernel shells. If I had to have a reason to dislike this popcorn, this would be the only one, because those suckers get stuck in your gums like they are moving in. Sage Valley also makes several other snack varieties, including Multi Grain chips which I have already reviewed and White Cheddar Puffs I hope to review.
