Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 Thanks Lori, There is a lot of similar research out on other artificial chemicals and preservatives, and this is the basis for the Feingold diet. A person may be sensitive to one of these ingredients, or react to the cummulative affect of such chemicals. Of course, having artificial stuff every now and then is different than working in the factory and breathing it in all day....but still, you would think someone would be " concerned " about this. .

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 We use an electric popcorn popper (air popper--no oil necessary); they are very inexpensive. We put the popped corn into a large bag and toss it with olive oil and salt. It takes awhile to get the salt/oil ratio right, but it's very good with no preservatives.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 I've found that the best popcorn is when I just make it in a heavy saucepan. Heat some oil, pour in popcorn kernels, and it pops in just a few minues - faster than microwave and tastier than electric, which can be dry.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 --I have one of those hot oil popcorn poppers with the no-stick surface and clear lid. My son got it for his birthday as he LOVES popcorn. I use grapseed oil or sunflower oil to pop the corn and just add salt and it is awesome. It works well if you are trying to get some of the good oils into the kids. I have heard grapeseed oil is supposed to be good. Anyone know for sure?

WAYNE Hi Wayne, Do you buy organic popcorn for the airpopper? if not, then you are most likely eating genetically modified popcorn and that's no good. I always buy organic and use that in the airpopper. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Healthy Popcorn Recipe Ingredients: 1/2 cup dried corn kernels, like the kind found in the picture aboveExtra-virgin olive oilSea salt Directions: Cover the bottom of a medium to large-sized pot with a thin coat of extra-virgin olive oil. Add corn kernels, and give the pot a good shake to coat the kernels with olive oil. Place lid on pot and turn the heat on to a medium level. Within a minute or two, the corn will begin popping into popcorn. As the frequency of popping starts to diminish, turn the stove off and take the pot off the heat, but keep the lid on to allow the last remaining kernels to pop. Transfer popcorn to a large bowl, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, season with sea salt, give it a good toss, and enjoy all-natural popcorn that is free of harmful synthetic flavorings.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 > Posted by: " crowdadie " crowdadie@... crowdadie Sun Apr 12, 2009 11:23 pm (PDT) Hi this Steve just wandering if organic popcorn contains mycotoxin if it ok to eat if it does not. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. Dear Steve, I have popcorn sometimes on " Off-Diet Day. " I soak it in warm salt water for 30 minutes and towel dry it before putting it in my pre-heated hot air popper. I serve it with lots of melted butter and Orsa Sea Salt. Yumm! Eat it around dinnertime so that your dose of vitamin " C " will help counteract any mycotoxin missed by the salt soak. You can certainly tell the amount of mycotoxin contained in your popcorn by the amount of foaming the salt water treatment causes. I have had instance where it foamed a lot and other batches that didn't foam at all. We always assume, though, that all grains have mycotoxin whether it foams or not.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. +++Hi Steve. Corn is a grain so it isn't allowed. Also in order for corn to be fit for human consumption it requires soaking in a special acid medium: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods18.php#a6 Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I wonder if this would be different for popcorn than for other preparations of corn? With popcorn, you're relying on the hard shell hull to keep the steam generated by the internal soft corn to remain contained up to the point where the hull explodes, opening up the soft corn inside. If you altered the hull too much it might not pop? Probably have to experiment some! BTW popcorn with lots of butter was one of the first things I added back into my diet now and then after I felt I was recovering, with no bad results.

So I would have to soak it for 7 hours then dry it before I could pop it. Sounds tricky but I'll try it next time I want to have popcorn. Nan.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Zack, My guess is that popcorn is just like any other corn. Years ago before we knew about soaking grains and beans, my daughter would get a stomach ache from corn -- but only corn that was not treated with lime. She could eat corn tortillas and corn chips (if they said lime on the package), but not fresh corn, corn bread, or popcorn. If you google " corn " and " lime water " you will find articles about how the nutrients in corn are not bio-available until is soaked in lime. Corn soaked in lime water is the traditional way to eat corn in Mexico. Lilac > > I wonder if this would be different for popcorn than for other preparations > of corn? > > > > > +++Hi Nan.
