Popcorn is best stored in the refrigerator which helps to retain the moisture needed for effective popping.

Microwave popcorn is popcorn packed in special bags or boxes that confines the corn while it pops. Most of these products contain flavorings or other additives you might want to avoid like oil, salt and artificial butter flavorings. An alternative is to purchase a microwave popcorn popper which allows you to control what goes into your snack food.
