air-popped popcorn

Heat-expanded corn seeds

Air-popped popcorn is popcorn made by heating kernels with hot air rather than oil.

The method produces a lighter, lower-calorie snack without added fat: I prefer air-popped popcorn when I'm trying to eat healthy.

Air poppers are small countertop appliances designed for this purpose.
