Kapoor shared a method for preparing organic popcorns at home - heat up a pan, add one spoon of butter or oil, add the kernels once it's hot, wait until all of the corns pop.

Aman Puri, Founder, Steadfast Nutrition, said, “Though it contains artificial flavours and colours and takes minutes to cook, it’s full of unhealthy ingredients, such as sodium and hydrogenated oil (Trans-fat) compared to organic popcorn, which is more nutritious.”
