Popcorn
As seen in our Live Well Gluten Free Magazine! Popcorn is a great natural source of fibre, so why not make your own for a snack and great to make with kids? We have three great flavour suggestions for you, and you can also experiment with your own flavours. The method is the same whatever the flavour you choose; the butter helps the flavour and helps the seasoning to coat.
