I love popcorn too and use coconut oil for popping with melted butter or ghee as a topping. Our favorite movie theater pops theirs the same way and it’s cheaper than other theaters and it’s bottomless! The only place outside of home I’ll gladly order popcorn.

In reply to Tina. Popcorn can be a little finicky to store but once you know a few key things, it generally stores very well. I've definitely stored it for over a year, but I do make sure to rotate my stash when I buy new. You want to be certain you're storing it in a genuinely air-tight container, in a cool location. I highly recommend the Smart Seal bucket lids I link to in this article. I have more than a dozen buckets of food stored using these lids. They have a great seal, yet they make it so easy to access the foods. (Sidenote: never use an oxygen absorber or vacuum sealer to store popcorn.)

I LOVE the idea of buying popcorn in bulk – but I have found that when I buy extra it doesn’t pop well after being on my shelf for a while. It pops small and tastes dry –
How do you keep yours fresh?

I have never looked back since switching to avocado oil…. highly recommend! And I think I need to do another list of swaps soon because I’ve thought of so many other simple swaps that I should have included here (but a podcast episode can only be so long 🙂 )… definitely switching out refined sugar for other much better options should be one. And whoops on the air popper link… it should be working now. 🙂

Great list, Michelle. I’m happy to see that we are using most of these already. I am thinking I need to make the switch to avocado oil though. Incidentally, I have started using maple syrup as a sweetener instead of sugar and am loving the results! Made a sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving and it was out of this world. I’m sold.

Followed the link above for the air popper and a water boiler came up? We bought ours at a thrift store.
Thank you for the Azure Standard links. I’m thinking we need to try that next year.

Have a lovely day!
