Isn’t this beautiful? Like a big bowl o’ sunshine. It reminds me of the popcorn you get at the movies - except without the excess table salt 
My popcorn is naturally yellow due to the Red Palm Oil I popped it in. I was inspired by Wardeh and her son when they popped corn in red palm oil during the ecourse Real Food Kids: In the Kitchen.
Red Palm Oil is full of Vitamin A. Fortunately, the gobs of Vitamin A contained in this palm oil is not damaged by heat - unless you allow it to smoke or burn
Just how much Vitamin A does Red Palm Oil contain? 200% of your daily value per tablespoon - that’s 10,000IU’s!
I used my standard stove-top popcorn recipe except I used 1/2 cup Red Palm Oil and 1 cup popcorn kernels. The only popcorn I trust now comes from Tropical Traditions, as they have non-GMO kernels.
I like to top my popcorn with Kerry Gold butter or ghee and REAL salt (above). This time I also whipped up some homemade caramel after a wonderful two-ingredient recipe my friend Sherry told me about (I’ll share that recipe with you tomorrow!)
Here is my popcorn popping…
You know when it’s time to shut off your popcorn (before it burns!) when it starts slowing down…
Previously, when I’ve wanted something sweet on my popcorn, I’d drizzle on some maple syrup, like I shared with you here. Come back tomorrow when I share with you how to make your own homemade caramel sauce. It’s super easy (thanks, Sherry!)

Just an FYI, there are no GMO popcorn varieties available for sale. However, popcorn is a popular “refuge” crop for GMO varieties, so is probably heavily sprayed, so buying Organic is important.
