Make Ready-in-Minutes Microwave Popcorn Taste Quite Gourmet with Real Butter

By David Parker of Kernel Kravings

We all know the convenience of ready-in-minutes microwave popcorn. But it's time to move beyond the average popcorn experience, and upgrade the taste and texture with a few simple ingredients. The secret is to sprinkle real butter over your popcorn after it has finished popping.

Real butter gives microwave popcorn a gourmet flavor, with a creamy finish that you can't replicate with synthetic substitutes. Furthermore, butter doubles as a seasoning. Add in a pinch of sea salt and a dash of your favorite spices and you can satisfy your popcorn cravings, no matter how complex.

The trick is to melt the butter separately before sprinkling it over your popcorn. This way, the butter can properly coat each individual kernel and blend in with your seasonings.

Butter also has benefits in terms of texture. If you find your popcorn has a dry or stale texture after popping, a generous helping of real butter can make an incredible difference.

If you're looking to upgrade your popcorn game, then give real butter a try. You'll be surprised at the rich flavor and creamy texture that a few extra seconds of effort can add.
