Mayo Clinic Minute: Popping a healthier snack

Popcorn can be a healthy high-fiber snack, if it’s prepared in the right way.

“The big thing is how it’s flavored,” says Jen Welper, executive wellness chef for the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program. “We want to make it really tasty, we don’t want to have all the calories and the fat.”

In this Mayo Clinic Minute, chef Welper mixes up four popcorn recipes that are lower in calories but still high in flavor. Jeff Olsen reports.

    Why use any oil? Air popping popcorn machines are far cleaner and much more healthy.

    I don´t put any oil to burn and become unhealthy. It pops perfect and healthier. Mayo Clinic should know better.
