1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Do you love popcorn as a snack or as a 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: special treat at the movies? There are loads of different 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: varieties of popcorn, both flavored and unflavored, at the supermarkets, 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: and today on the Nutrition Couch, we thought we would 5 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: take a closer look at one of my favorite food, 6 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: Susie popcorn. But is it really as healthy as what 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: we think? Hi? I'm LeAnn Ward and I'm Cezy Burrow, 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: and as two of us strayas leading dieticians who specialize 9 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: in evidence based nutrition, we bring you the Nutrition Couch 10 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: Product in Review, a weekly chat on new products and 11 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: old favorites that you can find at the supermarkets. So, 12 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: Susie popcorn, you can pop your own, you can buy 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: it pre cooked, you can get it at the movies. 14 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: You can get it coded in caramel. Are you a 15 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: popcorn lover? Does it do it for you? 16 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: I'm going to the movies tonight see the new chop 17 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 2: Gun movie. Will I be buying popcorn? 18 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: No? 19 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 2: I'm a massive fan. Actually, I tell you what I 20 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: do love though. I love the popcorn crackers. 21 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: Popcorn crackers? 22 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: What are they? That's popcorn? Like corn thins? 23 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: Oh? Corn Thin's okay? Yeah? 24 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: I like those boys quite light popcorn. I usually have 25 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 2: some around, you know, I find in the car they'll 26 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: have it. I think what we know about more process popcorn, 27 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: which we'll go through in a second, probably is a 28 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: little bit of a turn off. But I recommend it 29 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: to clients, and I actually call it a bit of 30 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: a free food because it's quite low in like quite 31 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: low in calories overall, and fiber rich and a whole grain. 32 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: So I recommend it frequently, but it's probably not my 33 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 2: go to, but if I'm honest, I also try and 34 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: stay away from kind of snacky stuff like that as 35 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 2: much as I can. But yeah, it certainly I use 36 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: it regularly with clients in meal plans because of it. 37 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: So it's in its natural form. As we'll discuss in 38 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 2: a second, it's a whole grain, really rich in fiber, 39 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: and pretty good for us. 40 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm a big popcorn fand devid and I eat it regularly. 41 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: Is this sort of a snack option, so I mean, 42 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,919 Speaker 1: I much prefer it to you know, buying like a 43 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: although I love my bag of kettle or red Rock 44 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: Delli potato chips. I find that, yeah, popcorn keeps me 45 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: under control a little bit more, and I like to 46 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: buy the just because I'm lazy. I buy the pre 47 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: sort of portion, you know, kitty snack packs of them, 48 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: because I really liked that they're pre portioned. I used 49 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: to have a popcorn maker as kids growing up. Mum 50 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: had this popcorn maker, and you know, we were we 51 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of money growing up, so if 52 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: we went to the movies, my siblings and I, Mum 53 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: would always make our own popcorn. And back in those days, 54 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: you could take whatever food you wanted into the movies. 55 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: They didn't care. So Mom used to make popcorn and 56 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: then we'd sprinkle like smoky paprika or something over the 57 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: top of it to give it a little bit of flavor. 58 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: Because one was very health conscious, she wouldn't let us 59 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: put salt or butter or anything on it. So we'd 60 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: just sprinkle a little bit of some sort of seasoning 61 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: on top of it and take it in with us. 62 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: Because they charged three hundred dollars, yeah, exactly what the 63 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: movies and they make all their money, which is dodging itself. 64 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: It's a great snack for kids, and it's school friendly. Yes, 65 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: all right, we've got a few to have a look at, all. 66 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: Right, So our first one today, Susie, is the Coals 67 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: Salted a microwave popcorn, so it is about ninety five 68 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: cents per little baggy, which is good. So a little 69 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: bag of it is twenty grams, so I like that 70 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: it's pre portioned. It's Coals brands, so it's quite affordable 71 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: as well, So a little bag is twenty grams. But 72 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: I think that SUSI will do the comparison via one 73 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: hundred grams today because we're comparing three separate products, and 74 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: one's twenty grams, one's twenty five grams of one's thirteen grams. 75 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: So just for as a reference for our listeners at home, 76 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be easy to compare. They're 77 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: similar serving sizes, so we might go per one hundred grams. 78 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: But just quickly, for this little baggy in the twenty grams, 79 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: it's only eighty one calories, so it's quite a low 80 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: calorie snack and it's quite a volume dense snack. So 81 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: that's why I really like popcorn because I work with 82 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: a lot of my female clients for fat loss, and 83 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: something like popcorn is quite low calori and it does 84 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: tend to give you a bit more box, so I 85 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: really do like per one hundred grams, we've got seventeen 86 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 1: hundred kilodels, which is roughly four hundred calories. We've got 87 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: nearly nine grams of protein, twelve grams of fat, six 88 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: of that being saturated fat, so probably a little bit 89 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: high in terms of the fat profile that we'd like, 90 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: probably a little bit more saturated fat. We've got sixty 91 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: grams of carbohydrate, which sounds like a lot, but it 92 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: makes sense because popcorn is a carbohydrate, less than a 93 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: gram of sugar, eight point five grams of total dietary fiber, 94 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: which is quite good, and one hundred milligrams of sodium, 95 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: so quite low. And when we look at the ingredient list, 96 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: there's only a couple of ingredients. We've got Australian corn, 97 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: which is eighty nine percent. We've got vegetable oil which 98 00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: they've disclosed as palm oil, antioxidant salts, and that's it 99 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: made from eighty nine percent Austraian ingredients. That's basically the 100 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: Australian corn. There's a little bit of palm oil and 101 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: a little bit of salt there. So pretty quote unquote 102 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: clean ingredient lists. Although we're not a fan of palm 103 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: oil susy, but I think it is sort of a 104 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: small amount of that in that little serving size. It's 105 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: only two point five grams of fat in there, so 106 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: sort of a smaller amount overall. 107 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: Can I ask you so that when you say twenty grams, 108 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 2: so like that's a mini bag, but they look quite big. 109 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: These are like ones you would pop for a family. Yeah, 110 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: these are more like I said, adult size. So the 111 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: third product a we're doing is more of like a 112 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: little kitty size. So this is actually quite a decent snack. 113 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: So this is something that I would give my adult 114 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: based clients because it is actually quite a decent size. Basically, 115 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 2: it's quite high percentage fat though, Like if you think that, 116 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: just air pop popcorn. So if you buy kernels and 117 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: stick them on the stove, go back into the eighties, 118 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: do it with a bit of olive oil, like you know, 119 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: just to pop it, you're gonna get like very little fat, 120 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: whereas this is like twelve percent fat overall, like they're 121 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 2: loading up on the vegetable oil. Definitely, I know that 122 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: the serving side a small, but it's you know, not 123 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: insignificant really, I think compared because I think that fresh 124 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: pop popcorn is really nice on its own, so I, I, 125 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 2: you know, think you'd have to be pushed to be 126 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 2: buying this, So even though it's cheap in proportion, but 127 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 2: I don't know, I just think twelve percent fat and 128 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: some palm oil for the flavor. You're certainly better if 129 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: you can to get the kernels and do it yourself 130 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: with a bit of olive oil. One hundred percent. 131 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent yere better. But I guess for 132 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: our busy working, you know, adults family is that sort 133 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: of thing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this. I personally 134 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: think it's okay, but of course you're always going to 135 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 1: be better doing it yourself. 136 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 2: The sodium's low, there's you know, the sodium's low, twenty 137 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: milligrams per serve or one hundred for the whole hundred. 138 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: So I guess the difference if you go to pop 139 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 2: popcorn at the movie is the salt is through the roof, 140 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: and you know that just by how thirsty you. 141 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: Are, and the fat will be a lot higher as well. 142 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: And there's a bit of concern around transfats in that 143 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: sort of mass produced popcorn that I'd be absolutely concerned 144 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: of too. So you know, I'd give this a six 145 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: or seven, I guess out of ten I would I 146 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 2: buy No, I'd probably just by playing, if I'm honest. 147 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's interesting out there. What else is out there? 148 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: It's actually really hard to get just plain popcorn because 149 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: even the ones that say no butter, they've still got. 150 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: Oil in them. 151 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: So it's actually really hard to get, which is like 152 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: sidly plain popcorn, yeah, because I could easily give or 153 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: take the butter or the oil. But I really do 154 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: like my popcorn salted, but even that this variety is 155 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: called lightly salted coals popcorn. Yeah, but it is still 156 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: obviously quite heavily it's got you know, the palm oil 157 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: and the vegetable oil in there. So it's actually really 158 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: hard to find pre popped popcorn that is just one 159 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: hundred percent popcorn. I correct me if I'm wrong, but 160 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: I have not seen any on the market. There's just 161 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: one hundred percent pre pop popcorn. 162 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: Okay, good to know. 163 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So then the second one, Susie I thought was 164 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: interesting because it's popping the microwave popcorn light butter. So 165 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: it's eighty five grams. You can get it. Cols the 166 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: wall weas and it's two dollars. So this is the 167 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: one where you put it in the microwave and you 168 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: make it yourself, so it's not pre popped like the 169 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: other the cause variety that we had. You make it yourself. 170 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: It's almost like you're having, you know, microwave type popcorn 171 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: at home where you're watching a movie with the family. 172 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: So this is something that we used to have quite 173 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: routinely growing up. Susium One would always buy the light 174 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: salt one, not the butter one. But I think this 175 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: one's an interesting one because you think that this would 176 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: be a lot more unhealthy than the previous one, which 177 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: is a lightly salted one. We look at the ingredient panel, 178 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: so per one hundred grams, so we're comparing the same amount. 179 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: We've got about seventeen hundred kilo duels, was roughly the 180 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: same eleven grams of protein, nearly eleven grams of fat, 181 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: two of that being saturated, so a lot lower in 182 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: saturated fat, sixty one grams of carbs, nearly twelve grams 183 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: of dietary fiber, and three hundred milligrams of sodium, so 184 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: about three times the amount of sodium than the coals brand, 185 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: and when you look at the fat overall, the fat 186 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: profile is nearly double, so sort of what you would 187 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: expect in terms of the being a bit more butter. 188 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: And when you look at the ingredient list, it's popping 189 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: corn ninety one percent, which explains why the fiber is high, 190 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: because this has a little bit more corn. It's got 191 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: ninety one percent versus eighty nine percent. It's also got 192 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: vegetable oil. They haven't disclosed what type, Probably what a 193 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: safe bet to assume it may bee palm oil or 194 00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: some sort of refined vegetable oil. 195 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: If it if it says vegetable and doesn't specify to 196 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 2: be palm oil, especially with antioxidants in it one hundred percent. 197 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: And then we've also got salt and natural flavor which 198 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: contains milk. So there's actually no butter in this product, 199 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: but they've added a natural flavor in to mimic the 200 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: butter flavor. So the actual the amount of saturated bat 201 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: is low, but it still does have quite a lot 202 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: of palm oil. And I think we would imagine so 203 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: sort of similar nutrient panel compared to the previous product 204 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: in terms of calories a little bit higher in five 205 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: of this one is, but the fat profile is fairly 206 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: similar eleven grams versus twelve grams I guess, so, you know, 207 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: not too vastly different. 208 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: I guess. 209 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 210 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: It's interesting, isn't it. When you take a close look 211 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: at them, you would think that this. 212 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: One would be a lot quote unquite worse because it's 213 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: a butter flavor compared to the other one is just 214 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: marketed as lightly salted. So I think that that's something 215 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: that a lot of people would think, Oh, this one's 216 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: a lot worse than the other one because one's only 217 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: got salt, one's only got butter. But I think a 218 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: lot of people are unaware that even the lightly salted 219 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: popcorn still adds a lot of oil to it, so 220 00:08:59,120 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: the fat profile is. 221 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: A lot higher. It's hard to know because in Australia 222 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: it's not mandatory to label for trans fats. Because the 223 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: research that I was doing, and admittedly it was more American, 224 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: was the concern around transfats in popcorn due to processing. 225 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: So it would be really interesting to know if you're 226 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: a product like this which has sort of processed, if 227 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: you know the trans fats differed between the pre made 228 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: one and the one that you're popping yourself. And as 229 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: I said, it's really unfortunate we don't have that. But 230 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 2: I'm actually surprised they're so they're quite high in fat, 231 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: so they're not holding back to the first one. Actually 232 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 2: looking really good compared to this one. 233 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: And then that brings us to our third one, which 234 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: is the Cobs Sweet and Salty gluten free popcorn. So 235 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: interesting they've labeled that one as gluten free because the 236 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: first one as well, even though they haven't really marketed 237 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: as the Coals lightly salted popcorn, is gluten free as well, 238 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: so the Cobs one's also gluten free. It's the sweet 239 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: and salty flavor. So I've actually tried this one zoozy 240 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: and it is delicious. But they do actually add sugar 241 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: in there to get that sort of sweet flavor and 242 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: the balance with the saltiness as well. So looking again, 243 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: per hundred grams, these are only thirteen grams serving sizes, 244 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: so they're not smaller, so they're much more kitty serving 245 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: sizes compared to the first Calls one, which is much 246 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: more of an adult serving size. So this is a 247 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: smaller serving size, so again we'll go, you know, per 248 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: one hundred grams, so it's about two thousand kilo dules, 249 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: which is nearly five hundred calories, so a bit more 250 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: energy dens than the other two. We've got five grams 251 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: of protein, so the proteins actually lower, and then in 252 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: terms of the fat, we've got twenty two point four 253 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: grams of fat, so the protein's about half, the fat's 254 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: about about double. So we'll have a lot less popcorn 255 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: in this one compared to the other two. And we'll 256 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: see in a second why that is. When it comes 257 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: to the ingredient list, the total fats twenty two point 258 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: four grams and the saturated's two grams. The carbohydrates about 259 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: sixty one grams sugars sixteen point two so added sugars 260 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: in this product, susy dietary fiber is eight gram sodiums 261 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy two milligrams per hundred grams. So 262 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: looking at the ingredient list, we've got popcorn as the 263 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: first ingredient at sixty three percent. When we looked at 264 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: the popping microwave one, it had ninety one percent popcorn, 265 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: so that was the highest, and the first coal's pre 266 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: made packets was eighty nine percent, so this one, the 267 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: COB's one only sitting at sixty seven. It's not a 268 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: huge amount of you know, it's only just over half 269 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: of the product is actually popcorn. The rest of it's 270 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: made up of sunflour, oil, raw sugar, and sea salt. 271 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: So it's added sugars in this one. So it does 272 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: actually taste delicious, SUSI, but we are actually adding sugar 273 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: and extra salt and oil into this as well to 274 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: make out the product. So although it does taste delicious, 275 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: although the serving size is smaller, so of course the 276 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: calorie amount is lower. It's only sixty four calories for 277 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: the little thirteen grand bag. It's definitely not This is 278 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: probably my lowest sort of recommendation because it does have 279 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: the added you know, the addition of the oil, the 280 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: salt and the sugar in this one. 281 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: And I'm just having a look because I'm a bit 282 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 2: surprised how high in fat all of these popcorns are 283 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 2: because I'm just looking at Cobs, which is, you know, 284 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: a very well known brand in this space, and you're right, 285 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 2: you know, they're all coming in at twenty twenty five 286 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: grams percentage fat. Even though because popcorn is so light, 287 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: the individual service, which is making the first one look 288 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: really good at just twelve percent fat. So this is 289 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: the far, by far, the lowest one, the cold salted micropopcorn. 290 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: It I'm a bit shocked because I thought there were 291 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: more that were really sort of basically just popcorn in 292 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 2: a bit of salt. But no, it's actually not, and 293 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: I guess that's because people don't buy them because they 294 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: tasting exactly that they're two plain compared to these ones. 295 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: But yeah, I really thought cobs would have a plane 296 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 2: of variety. So yeah, the first one's coming in pretty good. 297 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: I'm just looking though the woolies popping corn kernels, which 298 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: you can get to do yourself. Yeah, so that's four 299 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 2: point one percent fat, So that's just coming from the 300 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: whole grain. So absolutely if you can get the plain one, 301 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: you're really saving yourself fat because you know, if we 302 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 2: were talking about chipsley and and we were saying, like 303 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: chips are high fat food, they're twenty five percent fat, 304 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: whereas this is, you know, still twenty five percent fat. 305 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: It's just the benefit is that it's a whole grain 306 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 2: and very light, so you don't actually get enough. But 307 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: in terms of percentage fat they're certainly not low, so 308 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: you know, if you can pop your own, really it's 309 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 2: far better nutritionally. But yeah, the take home one would 310 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: have to be the first one at twelve percent, which 311 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 2: is about half what we're finding in all of these varieties. 312 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: And it was very low in sodium as well. That here, 313 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 2: at least the Cobs use it better oil. They're using 314 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: a sunflow, a higher lake, I said, sunflow, which is 315 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: certainly better I would compare to the others, which is 316 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 2: a palm So that's in their favor as a company. 317 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, And also the cost wise, like the Cobs is 318 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, three dollars fifteen for a small pack of 319 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: five versus I think the Coals want. I think you 320 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: get a pack of ten, and I think it's you know, 321 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: maybe three dollars or something. So you're getting larger packets 322 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: in the single serve and you're getting double the amount 323 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: as well, So affordability and budget wise, I think the 324 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: Calls one is definitely a better product. So overall, I 325 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: probably would recommend the Calls is my number one, despite 326 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: it having some palm oil in there, but it is 327 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, only one point two grams of saturated fat 328 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: per serving. So it is quite a small amount compared 329 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: to the other too as well. 330 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 2: No, I would two absolutely. I'm just having a look 331 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: at the Messy Monkeys one because that's one that is 332 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: sort of in the kid's lunch box snack section. But 333 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 2: I think the other take home message is if you're 334 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: going to the movies, you are a million times better 335 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 2: to take your own than the stuff you're getting there, 336 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 2: because there is some question around the type of fat 337 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: and whether they even contain some transfats, which we know 338 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: are almost toxic to the body. So even though the 339 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: you would say yes, they do have some fat, they're 340 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 2: going to have far far less and far less salt 341 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 2: than when you're getting it from the actual outlet. Plus 342 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: you're going to save a lot of money because it's 343 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: so expensive to buy there. It's like ten dollars. Yeah, 344 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 2: so yeah, certainly popcorn at the movies is not a 345 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: healthy choice by any means, and if you can avoid it, 346 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: you're going to be much better nutritionally with any of 347 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: these that you take in, both from a price perspective 348 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 2: and nutritionally, because yeah, i'd be sort of concerned about 349 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: the type of fat they're using, and you know, even 350 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: questioning if it does contain some trans fats. But I'm 351 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: just said, trying to get a number on this Messy 352 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 2: Monkey's brand says no palm oil, no MSG lightly salted popcorn. 353 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: So the Messy Monkey is one which is sort of 354 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: marketed at more kids. So thirteen grams serving size is 355 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: much smaller portion, definitely kid appropriate, twenty one point five 356 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: grams of fat, and they are using some flat oil. 357 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, still twenty three percent fat, so they're not lied either. 358 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 2: Coals is the winner. 359 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: It is actually very hard to find a pre popped 360 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: popcorn on the market without either some sort of butter 361 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: or butter equivalent or some sort of oil in it. 362 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: They're actually quite high and in fat when you look 363 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: at it in terms of the nutrient panel overall, but 364 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: in terms of the serving sizes, like thirteen grams for 365 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: little kids, it's got you know, two point eight grams 366 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: of fat total, so it is you know, a lower 367 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: amountain I do, you know, I'd much prefer the meeting 368 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: something like popcorn than I would, you know, a bag 369 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: of potato chips. So I do think, you know, popcorn 370 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: definitely has a place in the market, particularly because it 371 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: is a whole grain as well, so we're adding beneficial 372 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: five but into our diet, particularly for our gut heals 373 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: as well, and it's very allergy friendly as well. Popcorn, 374 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: the pain in the butt is that it does tend 375 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: to get stuck in your teeth. So I used to 376 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: always hate taking it as a work snack because I 377 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: could never brush my teeth afterwards. I need to floss 378 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: after I have some popcorn. 379 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: And you do have to be careful with smaller kids 380 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: obviously because of the small pieces around it. But you know, 381 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: it's certainly if your kids like it, and it's you know, 382 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: a packet stack, it's a million times better than biscuits 383 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: and sweet products like that, So there's certainly a place 384 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 2: for it. And I'd be looking for ones with better 385 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 2: quality oil and the lower the sodium, so and if 386 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: you can get away with getting that rather than buying 387 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: the movie popcorn, you'll be on the right track as well. 388 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: So Nutrition Couch green Light for the home brand again, 389 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: so budget friendly and probably the better option out of 390 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: the three that we looked at today. 391 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 2: Susie True True True, which is very pertinent at the 392 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 2: moment when we're paying twelve dollars for Lettus and eight 393 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 2: dollars for a broccoli. 394 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: All right, well, that brings us to the end of 395 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: the Nutrition Couch product review for another week.
