60% LESS SALT
Other reasons why this Diet Pop variant is worth its salt are:
- Less salt than the regular variant of Instant popcorn
- 42 calories per bowl (8g)
- Dietary fibre (Dietary fibre aids in digestion)
- Zero trans-fat (Trans fats raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lowers your good (HDL) cholesterol levels)**.
# - Reducing salt along with maintaining a healthy lifestyle & diet, exercising regularly and reducing stress helps in keeping your blood pressure in control
And if you don’t have a pressure cooker handy, it’s all fine and dandy. You’d be glad to know that we have ready-to-eat (RTE) variants too!
