What it is
This is a convenient bag of popcorn kernels, pre-portioned and seasoned with butter flavor. It is designed to be heated in a microwave oven, transforming the kernels into fluffy popcorn. The absence of added salt makes it a choice for those managing their sodium intake. The butter flavoring provides a classic taste without the need for separate butter or salt additions.

To prepare, simply remove the plastic wrap from the popcorn bag. Place the bag in the center of your microwave oven, ensuring the 'THIS SIDE UP' or similar indicator is correctly oriented. Cook on high power according to the time recommended on the package, usually between 1.5 to 4 minutes, listening carefully for the popping to slow to 2-3 seconds between pops. Carefully remove the hot bag from the microwave, holding it by the corners, and open it away from your face to avoid steam. Shake gently before serving.
