Many consider homemade popcorn to be a kind of “super food” because it’s loaded with antioxidants and fiber. Of course, we’re not talking about the pre-packaged kind that’s coated in artificial butter and salt. You’ll see just how easy and fun it is to make popcorn “from scratch.” It’s also budget-friendly! I hope you enjoy this popcorn recipe with Latin seasoning.
