Popcorn: Love it, Store it, Eat it

(Before It's News)

Popcorn has been a favorite snack since who knows when (too lazy to look up the answer). Anyways, who really cares? All that matters is it’s good, it keeps the kids quiet, and the best part is… the shelf-life is INDEFINITE!!! If you haven’t added anything to your home storage yet, go get yourself a 50lb bag now, you can thank me later! Some of the benefits are:

HEALTHIER

Much better than the store-bought junk, look at all those crazy ingredients on the back of a box and just try to pronounce them. Plus, after reading “Salt, Sugar, Fat” I’ve been convinced all the food giants are out to kill us

TASTES BETTER!

Anything home-made just tastes better! Enough said!

LONGER SHELF-LIFE

For the most part, food stored in its original form (beans, wheat, popcorn, etc.) lasts much longer, than when it has been altered. So learning to cook with the basics gives you the freedom to be able to cook, add to, and alter foods when, and how YOU want!!

Whole Popcorn – INDEFINITE (if stored properly)
Microwave Popcorn – Lasts for about 7-9 months
Popped Popcorn – Lasts for about 2 weeks
Cornmeal – Lasts for about 6-18 months

GRINDING POPCORN INTO CORNMEAL

I’m a little embarrassed to actually admit this, but I didn’t realize you could grind popcorn into cornmeal. I thought I had to get cornmeal from the store and vacuum-seal it into jars, or freeze it to keep fresh. Since discovering this trick, I haven’t picked up a bag of cornmeal since!

Put Popcorn into the Grinder,

Turn the Grinder On…

You Now Have Cornmeal!

Yes, it’s that Easy, unless you choose to hand-grind it (that takes a little more strength . Now go impress your friends, and make them some cornbread!
