Fresh, fluffy popcorn can be made without oil.
Make homemade popcorn a healthier snack by popping it without oil. Many methods for home cooking popcorn require the kernels to pop in spoonfuls of oil, but by using the microwave, you will not need added oil or fat. Any fat added, such as melted butter, is optional and done only after making the popcorn. Whether looking for a lighter recipe or avoiding commercial popcorn, this microwave popcorn fits the bill. It is fast, fresh and takes only minutes.
