Salt free popcorn

Hi guys has anyone come across salt free popcorn for sale in the shops? Trying to get rid of salt in my diet due to a medical condition. One of my favourite things when going to the cinema is getting popcorn but its covered in salt. At least if I could bring in my own it would make it a bit better rather than having to forget it altogether.

I've never seen it without added salt. It's easy enough to make. Kelkin sell the kernels.

You can buy a packet of maize kernels in a health food shop or supermarket and pop it yourself. It's easy and much cheaper than buying it already popped.

Obviously, as with any cooking involving hot oil, just be careful to avoid spills/burns and don't leave it unattended.

Some sweet ones might be a lot lower in salt, I do not like plain popcorn at all, would need something.

this tesco one is 0.1% salt, with no actual salt listed in ingredients, it could be naturally occurring.
