I eat popcorn fairly often and I was wondering if I can improve on the taste with minimal effort. Do you guys know any good mix I could use instead of salt alone?
Flavacol :) (https://whatthepopcorn.com/what-is-flavacol/) Basically, it’s “movie popcorn flavor”
I was about to scroll by because I have nothing helpful to add, when I saw the last few words „…instead of salt alone“. Salt? You guys are wild! The only thing that belongs on popcorn is sugar (and this way I‘m showing that I‘m German, I guess, while you prove to be from the US, I think. Taste is funny. Enjoy).
With an spice grinder it becomes a lot easier:
- Salt, msg, chili and citric acid
- Salt, dried out parmiggiano reggiano and black truffle
- Salt and msg
- Salt and nutritional yeast for that “fake cheesy” flavor
I know of Gayelord Hauser’s Spike seasoning which is salt-free. I use salt for food lots of times, but Spike and melted butter elevate our popcorn’s taste.
Was hoping to see someone post this lol. Love it.
Pepcorn is actually and unironically very good.
Buffalo sauce flavored popcorn powder is pretty good if you can find it.
Edit: I have this stuff
I have that and while it tastes good, some of it ends up airborne and I end up coughing or sneezing like crazy while eating it. Maybe I’m putting on too much?
I like Old Bay. But really, any seasoning blend works pretty good. If you have a spice grinder, you might consider grinding it finer so it distributes better.
I have a WhirleyPop so making kettle corn is pretty easy, since you stir the whole time.
I love my Whirly Pop
yeah it’s great. I do wonder about the ones that are basically the same, but self-contained and electric though.
