Exciting News for Popcorn and Nut Lovers

Right across the way from me at the Kane County Flea Market is a Nut Roaster. Not only do we compete for customers, we have competing smells too. One thing I have learned in the past ten years of selling my ReallyGoodPopcorn is that there is enough business for both of us. In fact, many Nut Lovers are also avid popcorn fans and vice-versa. We share many of the same customers - which is why I am so excited to tell you about a new appliance from West Bend, the Kettle Krazy Popcorn Popper and Nut Roaster.

Ideal for the family of snack lovers, whether you love to curl up with a bowl of popcorn and watch movies or roasted nuts to serve to friends on poker night or when watching the big game. This electric popper quickly pops up to 6-quarts of fresh, hot popcorn in minutes or can make up to 3 cups of mall-kiosk-style glazed nuts. Under $40 bucks on Amazon.com, a great Christmas or Hanukkah present.

A Healthy Snack Food

It's hard to believe that Popcorn - a snack food that tastes so good can actually be good for you! With suggestions from organizations such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the American Dental Association (ADA) and the American Dietetic Association (ADA), there's no doubt popcorn is a perfectly sensible snack to fit into any meal/fitness plan. Here’s why.

• Popcorn contains fiber, providing roughage the body needs in the daily diet.
• Popcorn is low in calories -- only 31-55 calories in one cup of unbuttered, and when lightly buttered, one cup still only has 133 calories.
• Popcorn has no artificial additives or preservatives, and is sugar-free.
• Popcorn contains energy-producing carbohydrates.
• Popcorn is ideal for between meal snacking since it satisfies and doesn't spoil an appetite.
• Popcorn inspires creativity.

While there's no doubt hot buttered popcorn is pleasing to any palate, popcorn also can be enjoyed when combined with seasonings, spices and other foods like raisins, fruit and cheese providing a nutritious, delicious snack. So, what are you waiting for, order Your Own Bucket of Really Good Popcorn today!
