Pot popcorn

Popcorn is a very common snack in our daily life, especially when watching a movie, having a cup of popcorn is quite enjoyable. The popcorn you buy outside is either too expensive or contains too much sugar. Although it tastes good, you can’t eat too much of it. In fact, making popcorn is very simple. You can make popcorn in a pan at home and you can decide the taste yourself. Now let’s take a look at how to make popcorn in a pan.

Ingredients required: corn kernels, oil, and sugar. Preparation method: 1. Wash the small corn kernels several times, drain and dry them or blow dry them quickly with a hair dryer. 2. First pour in the same amount of oil as for cooking. When the oil is hot, add the dried corn kernels and cover the pot. Heat over medium-low heat, and after a while you will hear "bang bang" sounds coming from the pot. 3. In the middle of the process, you can lift the pot, press the lid tightly, and shake it a few times to ensure even heating. Wait for 2 minutes until the pan gradually calms down and it is ready, then turn off the heat. Open the lid of the pot, sprinkle white sugar evenly, and stir evenly with chopsticks. The temperature in the pot can quickly melt the sugar and coat the popcorn. 4. Making such a pot of popcorn is fun and also saves money. Such a big pot costs only about 2 yuan.

Instructions for consumption: Among all staple foods, corn has the highest nutritional value and health benefits, and can prevent heart disease and cancer. In addition to carbohydrates, protein, fat, and carotene, corn also contains riboflavin, vitamins and other nutrients. These substances are very beneficial in preventing diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Among the more than 50 most effective nutritional health substances proven today, corn contains 7 - calcium, glutathione, vitamins, magnesium, selenium, vitamin E and fatty acids. It has been determined that every 100 grams of corn can provide nearly 300 mg of calcium, which is almost the same as the calcium contained in dairy products. Rich in calcium, it can help lower blood pressure. If you consume 1 gram of calcium every day, your blood pressure can be reduced by 9% after 6 weeks. In addition, the carotene contained in corn can be converted into vitamin A after being absorbed by the human body, which has anti-cancer effects; plant cellulose can accelerate the excretion of carcinogens and other poisons; natural vitamin E can promote cell division, delay aging, lower serum cholesterol, prevent skin lesions, and reduce arteriosclerosis and brain function decline. Researchers point out that the progesterone and zeaxanthin contained in corn can fight against eye aging. In addition, eating more corn can inhibit the side effects of anti-cancer drugs on the human body, stimulate brain cells, and enhance people's brain power and memory.

Food taboos: Corn should not be eaten with snails, otherwise it will cause poisoning; corn should not be eaten with oysters, otherwise it will hinder the absorption of zinc.
