Our grandmothers made it, but we didn't call it kettle corn-we just called it good. Now kettle corn is becoming a major attraction at fairs and store parking lots and can be found in microwave form in the grocery store. It is usually made with popcorn, granulated sugar, oil and salt. Regular light microwave popcorn contains 0 g sugars, 2.5 g fat and 105 calories. Kettle corn is only 10 calories lower than caramel toffee corn with nuts.
Many foods have dates stamped on their packages.
Although these terms have been used for several years it can be confusing when one type of food has a sell by date while others have a use by or expiration date. Foods with this stamp can be safely used for several days after the stamped date, but will not be as fresh. After this date the flavor and quality will not be reliable. They can help remove pesticide residue and bacterial contamination. Cool water works just as well and is much less expensive.
