Am I the only one who took 29 years to discover you can pop popcorn with just a brown bag??? We decided we didn’t want to take up space in our kitchen with an air popper, so I always made popcorn the old fashioned way on the stove with some oil, shaking the pan to keep any kernels from burning. But then I had to wash the large pan and lid and have my full attention at the stove while the kernels popped. My husband and daughter LOVE plain popcorn as a whole grain, high protein, high fiber snack and we quickly discovered the microwave method. Maybe everyone knows how to do this, but just in case this is a weekly snack of ours. No extra oils, no salt, no butter. Just a simple snack after a long workout or a quick treat for my daughter.

Plain popcorn is highly recommended in body building books for its 100% whole grain goodness and easy source of protein. Doctors also encourage kids to eat plain popcorn as it is a great high fiber snack along with the whole grains and protein. Enjoy!

My son and I have been making popcorn like this for awhile now - but it took me about 25 years to learn to do this as well!
I think it breaks down to $0.10 a bag or something crazy cheap like that. WIN!

Hi there - thanks for you of your info. I'm a long time sufferer, but only recently am getting a handle on the whole MSG free-glutamate thing.

The popcorn recipe didn't work for me...it burned up. Hmmm.... It migth depend on the power of your microwave. I am going to try again at a lower power. Thanks though for the idea!

We've been doing this for a while now too and wish I had learned it earlier as well! Sometimes it burns on us just in the last 10 seconds, but I think it may be partly having too few kernels in the bag.

That is so cool! I had no idea you could do it this way. I hate popping popcorn over the stove so this will be huge in our home =)
