Popcorn: An old favorite with new possibilities
By LANDRY HOLMES
The tempting aroma of
freshly popped corn has a
unique way of creeping under
dorm doors to reach un-
suspecting college students.
Popcorn for some collegians is
as essential to the learning
process as are good study
habits. This nutritious snack is
an inexpensive food for hungry
students and is also an
economical way to entertain
friends. Furthermore eating
popcorn is a good way to take a
break from prolonged studying.
Popcorn became a popular
food long before dormitory
rooms were invented. Accor-
ding to A. Hyatt Verrlll's "Food
America Gave the World"
American Indians prepared
corn in a variety of ways before
the Europeans reached the
continent. The Indians in-
troduced many corn products to
the American settlers in-
cluding popcorn.
One Indian legend claims that
a small demon in the corn
kernel causes the kernel to pop.
In reality moisture inside the
kernel becomes steam and
causes the corn to pop.
Whatever the history and
process popped corn is a
popular snack.
"Better Nutrition" promotes
popcorn as a great snack for
various reasons. First popcorn
because it is light weight can be
carried on hikes trips and
picnics.
Secondly popcorn is a very
good substitute for snacks
containing sugar-it is very

filling and not fattening. One
ounce of unbuttered popped
corn contains about 23 calories.
The same amount of popcorn
contains .6 gram of fiber. Fiber
in the diet helps prevent certain
physical disorders such as
digestive problems and heart
and circulatory problems.
Fiber also helps regulate
several body systems. Pop-
corn's fiber content makes it a
very nutritional food.
The most common way to pop
corn is the electric popcorn
popper. Until recently the only
poppers available heated oil
mixed with kernels which in
turn popped. A new approach to
popping corn is by using hot air.
Corn popped in hot-air pop-
pers is dry and margarine or
butter must be added to the corn
in order for salt to stick to the
popcorn. However the hot-air
poppers are not nearly as messy
and not as hard to keep clean in
the dorm room as are poppers
that use oil.
Popcorn is usally eaten with
margarine or butter and salt.
However many different
recipes can add variation to a
sometimes melancholy corn
puff. Some of these recipes are
healthy and others are not.
Some of the following variations
of preparing popcorn can be
used by dorm students. Other
recipes may be modified
without violating dormitory
rules.
The students who never make
it to breakfast can eat popcorn
for breakfast. Add brown sugar
or honey instead of sugar and
half and half-eat the corn as
cereal.
Popcorn can also be enhanced
with these simple additions to
popcorn:
-Mocha-mix one envelope
cocoa mix one teaspoon instant
powdered coffee one-fourth cup
ground blanched almonds.
--Vanilla Malted--mix one-
fourth cup malted milk powder
two teaspoons vanilla one-
fourth teaspoon salt.
-Savory Parmesan-mix one
teaspoon seasoned salt one
teaspoon onion powder one-half
cup grated Parmesan cheese
two tablespoons chopped
parsley.
The September 1980 issue of
"Glamour" suggests the
following additives to popcorn:
(1) grated orange or lemon
rinds; or (2) nuts dried fruits
toasted coconut or berries.
The more Industrious
students will be interested in
this recipe:
-Cheese Corn-place two
quarts popped corn in large
bowl pour on one-fourth cup
melted butter and toss with two
wooden spoons until evenly
coated. Add one-fourth to one
third cup grated Cheddar
Romano or Parmesan cheese
and toss again.
For the nutritiously conscious
students:
-Natural Munch'n-melt two
tablespoons margarine in small
sauce pan. Stir in one-fourth cup
honey one tablespoon grated
lemon peel one-fourth teaspoon
cinnamon. Drizzle over two
quarts popcorn in large bowl.
Toss gently. Add one cup
raisins one cup sunflower seeds
and one cup raw whole cashews.
Toss gently until thoroughly
blended.
The next time you are tired of
studying and your roommate's
stomach is growling so loudly
that you can't get out the
popcorn popper and make a
quick snack. The next time you
are bored with the traditional
butter and salt recipe try
something dlfferent-maybe
even make your own creation.
Don't get the academic or dorm
blahs. Eat popcorn.
