Caramel Popcorn
Caramel Popcorn is a sweet snack made by coating popped corn with a caramelized sugar syrup; it's commonly sold at cinemas, fairs and as a packaged snack. It is known for its crunchy, sticky coating and strong sweet flavor. Nutritionally this is an energy-dense treat that is high in added sugars — it contains about 52.8g of sugar per 100g — and provides relatively little protein or micronutrients compared with whole-food snacks, though the popcorn base does contribute some fiber. As a packaged confection it is best enjoyed occasionally: it is highly processed and designed as a sugary snack rather than a nutrient-rich food, so choosing plain or air-popped popcorn is a simple way to reduce sugar and calories when you want a lighter option.
