Let's Popcorn Healthy Snacks in Oman

Nutritious, crunchy, and appealing to nearly everyone at every age, popcorn may be the perfect between-meal treat.

A classic movie-going snack, what most people don't know is that popcorn is a whole grain snack full of healthy carbs, proteins, vitamins, and fibre that is also low in fat and full in volume, making it a favourite among dieters and fitness enthusiasts too.

These days, it is way more than movie munch or diet food, with all kinds of options to jazz up the kernals. Newly opened Let’s Popcorn in Qurum offers a healthy air popped popcorn in over 22 flavours, from savoury variations like salt and vinegar and chilli nacho, as well as sweet versions like 'digestive nutella ninja', which combines cocoa and peanut butter, and my personal favourite, a sweet and savoury caramel sea salt.

Salt-free, air-popped popcorn contains about 30 calories per cup while these flavoured popcorns can reach up to 120 calories per cup, which is still far less than a bag of chips, a slice of cake, or a dish of ice cream. As you work on getting fit, trimming down, or simply eating a bit better this month, these crunchy, spicy, sweet, salty snacks could be the most delicious healthy swap you ever make. —[email protected]
