Anyone know if there is a way to still eat popcorn if you are trying to stick to Paleo eating? Was wondering on thoughts about just popping it in an air popper. . .

Unfortunately, it's not the process, as the corn itself which is excluded from most of the paleo/primal diets. Even sweet corn-on-the-cob is an artificially bred product and most modern strains are so far away from their origins that they're completely sterile. For alternatives, looks like the "Paleo Movie Snacks" thread had some good ideas: |

Not Paleo, but I have it as a treat once or twice a month, with plenty of pastured butter! My research, so far, indicates that the corn grown for popcorn is not GMO. |

Definitely not paleo. But I sometimes (couple times a year) have it. I make it the 'old fashioned' way on the stove in a heavy deep sided cast iron pan with a heavy lid with coconut oil. Avoid microwave popcorn, it tastes bad and is laced with chemicals. The lining of the bag contains perfluorooctanoic acid which not only gets on the popcorn but the fumes pollute the air in your house. |

Definitely not paleo, but I occasionally have it as a treat as well. I buy organic, non-GMO corn. I pop it the old-fashioned way with coconut oil, and I use lots of pastured butter. |
