At Haute Pop, we LOVE popcorn! And, because of our admiration for this wholesome snack, we have worked very hard to create the most flavorful combinations with beneficial ingredients, and without sacrificing all the goodness this delicious whole grain has to offer. 

With these considerations in mind, our popcorn and associated flavor profiles are crafted with high-quality ingredients—many of which have been shown to positively impact wellbeing. And, we thought this information was worth sharing with you, even if some ingredients are only used in small amounts. 

Here are some of those ingredients and their identified benefits:

• Non-GMO, Gluten-free Popcorn

Popcorn is a whole grain snack rich in dietary fiber, which supports healthy digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. It is naturally low in calories and contains polyphenols, antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress in the body.

• Canola Oil

Canola oil is a heart-healthy cooking oil rich in monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce bad cholesterol and support cardiovascular health. It contains vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects cells from damage, and is also low in saturated fat, promoting a balanced diet and aiding in weight management.

Extra virgin olive oil is an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, which can support heart health by reducing bad cholesterol levels. It also contains antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties.

Black truffles are nutrient-rich fungi known for their antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress and support immune function.
