White Mountain® Kettle Corn Healthy Snacks |
Most people snack. Snacks for work. Snacks for school lunches. Snacks for travel. The trick is, don't you think, to choose a snack that tastes simply wonderful and contributes positively to your overall nutritional plan.
In developing White Mountain®Kettle Corn our goal was to produce a delicious, crispy, healthy snack, as low in oil, sugar and salt as possible. We also focused on making White Mountain® Kettle Corn a gluten-free, all-natural, high whole grain snack by keeping it "clean," that is, by not adding coloring, preservatives or any other additives.
After experimenting with many, many batches, we had created a recipe and cooking method that produced a kettle corn which met our "healthy snack" goal and pleased our large group of fussy taste-testers.
Well, the hard part is how do you make your choice when you are faced with yards and yards of snack foods on your grocer's shelves?
How is one to choose?
How about:
- The Nutritional Label
- The Serving Size
- The Net Weight of the Package
The nutritional label is one way.
Here's what White Mountain®Kettle Corn looks like:
| Ingredients: |
Popcorn
Soybean oil
Sugar
Salt
|
That's it!

Absolutely no additives, coloring or preservatives are used in the preparation of White Mountain® Kettle Corn. And, our equipment never sees allergens such as peanuts or tree nuts.

- Serving size can be another basis for comparison:
WMKC has a 3-Cup serving
Most other popcorn products are 2-cup servings.
Chip-type servings may be only as few as 10-12 pieces!
- Net weight of the bag can be another way to compare snack products. But, look out, there's a catch:
Each package of WMKC contains 7.5oz of kettle corn.
Competing brands may seem to offer more kettle corn because the bag is larger and its net weight is greater.
BUT, pay attention! The package is probably heavier because the product contains MORE OIL and MORE SUGAR PER SERVING!!!
Go back to the nutritional label and compare for yourself!
We hope your ultimate choice will be White Mountain® Kettle Corn - a wholesome, all-natural treat with an exceptionally delicious taste and crispiness!
