One of the easiest and crowd-pleasing ways to incorporate palm oil into your snack recipes, however, comes in the form of buttery popcorn. From family movie nights to easy snacks to pack for your kids, you can never go wrong with popcorn.

We all know that buttery popcorn is a delicious treat for all ages, especially when it comes to having a great New Year’s Eve party offered at your snack table. Having the perfect snack for the whole family and your friends only gets better when you can make this a vegan, healthy treat that’s also flavorful and delicious for those of all tastes. You might not think just using a certain cooking oil can bring this effect to a snack like this, but red palm oil can do it all!

Rich in Vitamin E and the antioxidant carotenoid, red palm oil allows you to enjoy a fun snack while also benefiting your heart and brain. Red palm oil also brings benefits in the form of aiding to control cholesterol levels, fighting against heart disease, and boosting Vitamin A.

When it comes to the actual process of making popcorn, red palm oil also makes this snack easier than ever to make. Because of its high smoke point, you never have to worry about burning your oil while getting your popcorn to its proper temperature.
