    What brand of popcorn is the healthiest? I eat it daily and am concerned about the type and amount of salt being used. I know tesco brand is regular table salt, they confirmed it to me.

    Buy kernels, you can control the amount of salt you add. Healthfood shop or asian shops are the only places I can currently find them. Learn to pop them in a pot with oil, or find some gizmo if you want to use the microwave or an airpopper.

    I have done that. Even bought a microwave popcorn maker, it's just very hard to flavour the microwave popcorn.

    If the worst thing you're eating daily is popcorn then relax and enjoy it

    I eat the keoghs honey and seasalt regularly, that stuff is next level

    If you want to do flavouring, you need to break out the oils and butters to help seasonings to stick, also sugar syrup. Unfortunately, the most delicious ways to make popcorn are not in line with eating it every day. Popcorn is mostly a vehicle for other things (it is one of my absolutely favourite snacks and goes great with sweet and savoury options)
