The Food Network and the Most Popular Snack in the World: Popcorn
The Food Network can often keep the pulse of the nation when it comes to our favorite snacks and foods. Sometimes the fine folks at the Cooking Channel even think that they have a sense of what the world is thinking when it comes to the most popular snacks.
The most popular snack in the World right now is thought to be: POPCORN!
You can find dozens of ideas for snacks at the Food Network website here:

While it may be popular, it may not be the healthiest snack that you can choose to nibble on between major meals.
But when you take organic popcorn and use air to pop it, it’s a healthy snack. When you use an oil, be sure to use an organic oil like olive oil, peanut oil, coconut oil, or safflower oil. If you insist upon adding butter, then be sure that it is organic butter! Use sea salt to season your popped corn treats. Should you be bold and adventuresome; then sprinkle some spice and herbs on your popcorn. We like cayenne, garlic, paprika, black pepper, cumin, parsley flakes, cilantro, dill, and even some basil to impart unique flavor and embellish the nutritional value to popcorn.
If you want to make your popcorn into a sweet treat, then some honey or other natural sweetener added right after popping will work magic. You can add more seasonings like ginger, chocolate, dried fruit bits, raisins, sesame seeds, nuts, and other goodies to add texture and flavor to your popcorn. Balls of popcorn are a favorite among children and they’re not just for Halloween these days!
The trends in snacks will take a number of turns down that road, but we still love our snack bars, our nut blends, and our fresh fruit for our daily snacks.
We tend to create Trends, instead of following the pack. We were some of the first people to really get on the spirulina bandwagon and still stick to our guns with Vital 18.
We were among the first to boycott the purchase of tuna until the issue of drift nets was addressed and resolved and now it’s Law.
We were among the first to endorse specific herbal formulas and nutritional supplements for Longevity and Wellness and now there are millions following suit that are in the game for keeps!
We set the bar really high when it comes to snacks, too. It’s not enough to grab and go with an Almond Joy or a Snickers bar these days. No…only the best organic ingredients will suffice for healthy snacks.
We fell in love with a sesame seed and honey snack in the 1970s called Nookies in Boulder which was one of the first successful snack items that were tasty and healthy. Then along came the WaGuru Chew and we enjoyed the Cashew Almond the most! We have seen some fantastic snacks come and go over the years. There are more choices now than ever before, so there’s no shortage of options for the health-minded individual regardless of age.
Could potato chips be the world’s favorite? Could pommes frite qualify? For those of you who do not speak French, that translates into ‘french fries’. Could it be sweet or savory? Could it be popcorn? Could it be chocolate? What is the world’s favorite snack? The Food Network weighed in on the issue and in their opinion, it happens to be: good ol’ Popcorn… This snack can be found at home, at fairs and festivals, and at the movies.
One thing is certain. That is the fact that people all have their very own favorite snack. Some countries may have a large percentage of citizens who love dried squid or rice or pastries or cake or cookies or any number of other snack items; but when you look at the entire world, the most consumed food happens to be rice.

There are two snacks that we want to suggest that you try out. Reed’s Ginger Chews are a nice blend of spice and sweetness. They’ll be good for digestion, a queasy stomach, morning sickness, nausea, or just for fun! The organic coconut bars are also delightful. They are soft and chewy, sweet and nutritious. Don’t underestimate the savory snacks either and give them a chance to deliver flavor to you…
Hummus with nan or injera is wonderful, home-made potato or vegetable chips with sea salt and spices are fantastic. Organic Beef Jerky is great. Fresh organic nuts, popcorn, seeds, and fruit leather all qualify for healthy snacks. You can build a healthy snack around a great dip any time.
