WEBVTT - TNC Review: Packet Popcorns

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you love popcorn as a snack or as a

0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>special treat at the movies? There are loads of different

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>varieties of popcorn, both flavored and unflavored, at the supermarkets,

0:00:09.400 --> 0:00:11.879
<v Speaker 1>and today on the Nutrition Couch, we thought we would

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>take a closer look at one of my favorite food popcorn?

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>But is it really as healthy as what we think? Hi,

0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm Leanne Ward and I'm Cez Burrow and as two

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 1>of austrayas leading dieticians who specialize in evidence space nutrition,

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>we bring you the Nutrition Couch Product Review, a weekly

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>chat on new products and old favorites that you can

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:35.200
<v Speaker 1>find at the supermarkets. So, Susie, popcorn, you can pop

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>your own, you can buy it pre cooked, you can

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>get it at the movies.

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 2>You can get it coated in caramel. Are you a

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 2>popcorn lover? Does it do it for you?

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to the movies tonight see the new chop

0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Gun movie. Will I be buying popcorn?

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm not a massive fan. Actually, I tell you what

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 3>I do love though. I love the popcorn crackers.

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Popcorn crackers?

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 4>What are they? That's popcorn? Like corn thins?

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Corn Thin's okay?

0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 3>I like those boys quite light popcorn. I usually have

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 3>some around, you know, I find in the car, they'll

0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 3>have it. I think what we know about more process popcorn,

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 3>which we'll go through in a second, probably is a

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 3>little bit of a turn off. But I recommend it

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.399
<v Speaker 3>to clients, and I actually call it a bit of

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 3>a free food because it's quite low in like quite

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 3>low in calories overall, and fiber rich and a whole grain.

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 3>So I recommend it frequently, but it's probably not my

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 3>go to but if I'm honest, I also try and

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 3>stay away from kind of snacky stuff like that as

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 3>much as I can. But yeah, certainly I use it

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 3>regularly with clients in meal plans because of it it's

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 3>in its natural form. As we'll discuss in a second,

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 3>it's a whole grain, really rich in fiber, and pretty

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 3>good for us.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm a big popcorn band devid and I eat it regularly.

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Is this sort of a snack option, so I mean,

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 1>I much prefer it to you know, buying like a

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>although I love my bag of kettle or I'm red

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>rock Dalli potato chips. I find that, yeah, popcorn keeps

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>me under control a little bit more, and I like

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to buy the just because I'm lazy. I buy the

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>pre sort of portion, you know, kitty snack packs of them,

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>because I really liked that they're pre portioned. I used

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to have a popcorn maker as kids growing up. Mum

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>had this popcorn maker, and you know, we were we

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a lot of money growing up, so if

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>we went to the movies, my siblings and I, Mum

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>would always make our own popcorn. And back in those days,

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you could take whatever food you wanted into the movies.

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 2>They didn't care.

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>So Moe used to make popcorn and then we'd sprinkle

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>like smooky paprika or something over the top of it

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to give it a little bit of flavor. Because one

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>was very health conscious, she wouldn't let us put salt

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>or butter or anything on it. So we'd just sprinkle

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of some sort of seasoning on top

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>of it and take it in with us.

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Because they charged three hundred dollars for yeah, exactly, the movies,

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 3>and I make all their money, which is dodging itself.

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 3>It's a great snack for kids, and it's school friendly. Yes,

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 3>all right, we've got a few to have a look.

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>At, all right, So our first one today, Susie is

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 1>the Coals salted microwave popcorn, so it is about ninety

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.799
<v Speaker 1>five cents per little baggy, which is good. So a

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.640
<v Speaker 1>little bag of it is twenty grams, so I like

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>that it's pre portioned. It's Coals brands, so it's quite

0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>affordable as well, So a little bag is twenty grams.

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>But I think that SUSI will do the comparison YA

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>one hundred grams today because we're comparing three separate products,

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and one's twenty grams, one's twenty five grams of one's

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>thirteen grams.

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 2>So just as a reference for our listeners.

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 1>At home, I think it's going to be easy to

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 1>compare the similar serving sizes. We might go per one

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>hundred grams, but just quickly, for this little baggy in

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the twenty grams, it's only eighty one calories, so it's

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>quite a low calorie snack and it's quite a volume

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.239
<v Speaker 1>dense snack. So that's why I really like popcorn because

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I work with a lot of my female clients for

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>fat loss, and something like popcorn is quite low calorie

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>and it does tend to give you a bit more box.

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>So I really do like per one hundred grams, We've

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 1>got seventeen hundred kilodels, which is roughly four hundred calories.

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>We've got nearly nine grams of protein, twelve grams of fat,

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>six of that being saturated fat, so probably a little

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>bit high in terms of the fat profile that we'd like,

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>probably a little.

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Bit more saturated fat.

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>We've got sixty grams of carbohydrate, which sounds like a lot,

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>but it makes sense because popcorn is a carbohydrate, less

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>than a gram of sugar, eight point five grams of

0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>total dietary fiber, which is quite good, and one hundred

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>milligrams of sodium, so quite low. And when we look

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>at the ingredient list, there's only a couple of ingredients.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>We've got Australian corn, which is eighty nine percent. We've

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>got vegetable oil which they've disclosed as palm oil, antioxidant salts,

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's it made from eighty nine percent Australian ingredients.

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>That's basically the Australian corn. There's a little bit of

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>palm oil and a little bit of salt there. So

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty quote unquote clean ingredient lists. Although we're not a

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>fan of palm oil. Susy, but I think it is

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>sort of a small amount of that in that little

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>serving size, there's only two point five grams of fat

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.039
<v Speaker 1>in there, so sort of a smaller amount overall.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Can I ask you so that when you say twenty grams,

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 3>so like that's a mini bag, but they look quite big.

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 3>These are like ones you would pop for a family. Yeah,

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 3>these are more like us said, adult size. So the

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 3>third product a we're doing is more of like a

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 3>little kitty size. So this is actually quite a decent snack.

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 3>So this is something that I would give my adult

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 3>based clients because it is actually quite a decent size. Basically,

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 3>it's quite high percentage fat though, Like if you think

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 3>that just air pop popcorn. So if you buy kernels

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 3>and stick them on the stove, go back into the eighties,

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 3>do it with a bit of olive oil, like you know,

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 3>just to pop it, you're gonna get like very little fat,

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 3>whereas this is like twelve percent fat overall, like they're loading.

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:57.799
<v Speaker 4>Up on the vegetable oil.

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Definitely, I know that the serving side a small, but

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 3>it's you know, not insignificant really, I think compared because

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I think that fresh pop popcorn is really nice on

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>its own, so I I, you know, think you'd have

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.280
<v Speaker 3>to be pushed to be buying this over even though

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 3>it's cheap in proportion.

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know.

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.719
<v Speaker 3>I just think twelve percent fat and some palm oil

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 3>for the flavor. You're certainly better if you can to

0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 3>get the kernels and do it yourself with a bit

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 3>of olive oil.

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 4>One hundred percent.

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one hundred percent yere better.

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>But I guess for our busy working, you know, adults,

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>family is that sort of thing. I wouldn't hesitate to

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>recommend this.

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 4>I personally think.

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>It's okay, but of course you're always going to be

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 1>better doing it yourself.

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 3>The sodium's low, there's you know, the sodium's low, twenty

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.719
<v Speaker 3>milligrams per serve or one hundred for the whole hundred.

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 3>So I guess the difference if you go to pop

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 3>popcorn at the movie is the salt is through the roof,

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 3>and you know that just by how thirsty you.

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Are, and the fat will be a lot higher as well.

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 3>And there's a bit of concern around transfats in that

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.880
<v Speaker 3>sort of mass produced popcorn that I'd be absolutely concerned

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.479
<v Speaker 3>of too, So you know, i'd give this a six

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 3>or seven, I guess out of ten, would I buy it? No,

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 3>I'd probably just by playing, if I'm honest. But yeah,

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 3>it's interesting out there. What else is out there?

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>It's actually really hard to get just plain popcorn because

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>even the ones that say no butter, they've still.

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:11.159
<v Speaker 4>Got oil in them.

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 1>It's actually really hard to get which is like secularly

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>plain popcorn, yeah, because I could easily give or take

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the butter or the oil. But I really do like

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>my popcorn salted. But even that this variety is called

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>lightly salted coals popcorn. Yeah, but it is still obviously

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>quite heavily it's got you know, the palm oil and

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 1>the vegetable oil in there. So it's actually really hard

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to find pre popped popcorn that is just one hundred

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 1>percent popcorn. I correct me if I'm wrong, but I

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>have not seen any on the market that's just one

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent pre pop popcorn.

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay, good to know. Okay.

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>So then the second one, Susie I thought was interesting

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>because it's popping microwave popcorn light butter. So it's eighty

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>five grams. You can get it cols the will Weas,

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and it's two dollars. So this is the one where

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you put it in the microwave and you make it yourself,

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>so it's not.

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Pre popped like the other the Coals variety that we had.

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 2>You make it yourself.

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like you're having, you know, microwave type popcorn

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 1>at home where you're watching a movie with the family.

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>So this is something that we used to have quite

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>routinely growing up. Susie one would always buy the light

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.640
<v Speaker 1>the salt one, not the butter one. But I think

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>this one's an interesting one because you think that this

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 1>would be a lot more unhealthy than the previous one,

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>which is a lightly salted one. We look at the

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>ingredient panel, so per one hundred grams, so we're comparing

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the same amount. We've got about seventeen hundred kilodules, was

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>roughly the same eleven grams of protein, nearly eleven grams

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>of fat, two of that being saturated, so a lot

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>lower in saturated fat, sixty one grams of carbs, nearly

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>twelve grams of dietary fiber, and three hundred milligrams of sodium,

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 1>so about three times the amount of sodium than the

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Coals brand.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 2>And when you look at.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>The fat overall, the fat profile is nearly double, so

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 1>sort of what you would expect in terms of the

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, being a bit more butter. And when you

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 1>look at the ingredient list, it's popping corn ninety one percent,

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>which explains why the fiber is high because this has

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more corn. It's got ninety one percent

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.280
<v Speaker 1>versus eighty nine percent. It's also got vegetable oil. They

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>haven't disclosed what type. Probably what a safe bet to

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>assume it may bee palm oil or some sort of

0:07:58.840 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>refined vegetable.

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Oilundred percent if it says if it says vegetable and

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 3>doesn't specify to be palm oil, especially with antioxidants in it,

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 3>one hundred percent.

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 1>And then we've also got salt and natural flavor which

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>contains milk. So there's actually no butter in this product,

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>but they've added a natural flavor in to mimic the

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>butter flavor. So the actual the amount of saturated vat

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 1>is low, but it still does have quite a lot

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>of palm oil. And I think we would imagine so

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>sort of similar nutrient panel compared to the previous product

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>in terms of calories, a little bit higher in five

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>of this one is. But the fat profile is fairly

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>similar eleven grams versus twelve grams I guess, so, you know,

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 1>not too vastly different.

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 4>I guess.

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting, isn't it. When you take a close look

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 4>at them.

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>You would think that this one would be a lot

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>quote un quite worse because it's a butter flavor compared

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to the other one is just marketed as lightly salted.

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>So I think that that's something that a lot of

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>people would think, Oh, this one's a lot worse than

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the other one because one's only got salt, one's only

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>got butter. But I think a lot of people are

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>unaware that even the lightly salted popcorn still adds a

0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of oil to it, so the fat profile is

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 1>lot higher.

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 3>It's hard to know because in Australia it's not mandatory

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 3>to label for trans fats. Because the research that I

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 3>was doing, and admittedly it was more American, was the

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.439
<v Speaker 3>concern around transfats in popcorn due to processing. So it

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 3>would be really interesting to know if you're a product

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 3>like this which is sort of processed, if you know

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 3>the trans fats differed between the pre made one and

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 3>the one that you're popping yourself. And as I said,

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 3>it's really unfortunate we don't have that. But I'm actually

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 3>surprised they're so they're quite high in fat, so they're

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 3>not holding back to the first one actually is looking

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 3>really good compared to.

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>This one, and then that brings us to a bad one,

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>which is the Cobs Sweet and Salty gluten free popcorn.

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>So interesting they've labeled that one as gluten free because

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:39.520
<v Speaker 1>the first one as well, even though they haven't really

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>marketed as the Coals lightly salted popcorn, is gluten free

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>as well, so the Cobs one's also gluten free. It's

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the sweet and salty flavor. So I've actually tried this

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 1>one zoozy and it is delicious. But they do actually

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>add sugar in there to get that sort of sweet

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 1>flavor and the balance with the saltiness as well. So

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.319
<v Speaker 1>looking again, per hundred grams, these are only thirteen grams

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>serving sizes, so they're not smaller, so they're much more

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>kitty serving sizes compared to the first Calls one, which

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>is much more of an adult serving size. So this

0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>is a smaller serving size, so again we'll go, you know,

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>per one hundred grams, so it's about two thousand kilodules,

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>which is nearly five hundred calories, so a bit more

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>energy dens than the other two. We've got five grams

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>of protein, so the protein is actually lower. And then

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.959
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the fat, we've got twenty two point

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>four grams of fat, so the protein's about half, the

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.839
<v Speaker 1>fat's about double. So we'll have a lot less popcorn

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 1>in this one compared to the other two. And we'll

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 1>see in a second why that is. When it comes

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 1>to the ingredient list, the total fats twenty two point

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 1>four grams and the saturated's two grams. The carbohydrates about

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 1>sixty one grams sugars sixteen point two so added sugars

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>in this product sousy dietary fiber is eight gram sodiums

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and seventy two milligrams per hundred grams. So

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>looking at the ingredient list, we've got popcorn as the

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>first ingredient at sixty three percent. When we looked at

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the popping microwave one, it had ninety one percent popcorn,

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 1>so that was the highest, and the first coals pre

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>made packets was eighty nine percent. So this one the

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 1>COB's one only sitting at sixty seven. It's not a

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>huge amount of you know, it's only just over half

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>of the product is actually popcorn. The rest of it's

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>made up of sunflour, oil, raw sugar, and sea salt.

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>So it's added sugars in this one. So it does

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>actually taste delicious, SUSI, but we are actually adding sugar

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and extra salt and oil into this as well to

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>make out the product. So although it does taste delicious,

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 1>although the serving size is smaller, so of course the

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>calorie amount is lower. It's only sixty four calories for

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the little thirteen grand bag. It's definitely not This is

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>probably my lowest sort of recommendation because it does have

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the added you know, the addition of the oil, the

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>salt and the sugar in this one.

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 3>And I'm just having a look because I'm a bit

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 3>surprised how high in fat all of these popcorns are

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.680
<v Speaker 3>because I'm just looking at Cobs, which is, you know,

0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 3>a very well known brand in this space, and you're right,

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, they're all coming in at twenty twenty five

0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 3>grams percentage fat. Even though because popcorn is so light,

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 3>the individual serves which is making the first one look

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 3>really good at just twelve percent fat. So this is

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 3>the fart by far the lowest one the Cole saltied micropopcorn.

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 4>And I'm a bit shock because I thought there were more.

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 3>That were really sort of basically just popcorn in a

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 3>bit of salt, But no, there's actually not, and I

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 3>guess that's because people don't buy them because they tasting

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 3>exactly that they're too plain compared to these ones. But yeah,

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 3>I really thought cobs would have a plane of variety.

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, the first one's coming in pretty good. I'm

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 3>just looking though the woolies popping corn kernels, which you can.

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 4>Get to do yourself.

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so that's four point one percent fat, So that's

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 3>just coming from the whole grain. So absolutely if you

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 3>can get the plain one, you're really saving yourself fat

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 3>because you know, if we were talking about chipsley and

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 3>and we were saying, like chips are high fat food,

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 3>they're twenty five percent fat, whereas this is, you know,

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 3>still twenty five percent fat. It's just the benefit is

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 3>that it's a whole grain and very light, so you

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 3>don't actually get enough. But in terms of percentage fat

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 3>they're certainly not low, so you know, if you can

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 3>pop your own, really it's far better nutritionally. But yeah,

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 3>the take home one would have to be the first

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 3>one at twelve percent, which is about half what we're

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 3>finding in all of these varieties, and it was very

0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 3>low in sodium as well. That here, at least the

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Cobs use better oil. They're using a sunflow, a higher lake,

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 3>I said, sunflow, which is certainly better I would compared

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 3>to the others, which is a palm So that's in

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 3>their favor as a company.

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And also the cost wise, like the Cobs is

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, three dollars fifteen for a small pack of

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>five versus I think the Coals want. I think you

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 1>get a pack of ten, and I think it's you know,

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe three dollars or something. So you're getting you know,

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 1>larger packets in the single serve and you're getting double

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the amount as well, So affordability and budget wise, I

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>think the Coals one is definitely a better product. So overall,

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.280
<v Speaker 1>I probably would recommend the Calls is my number one,

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 1>despite it having some palm oil in there, but it

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>is you know, only one point two grams of saturated

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 1>fat per serving, so it is quite a small amount

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>compared to the other too as well.

0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 4>No, I would two absolutely.

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm just having a look at the Messy Monkeys one

0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 3>because that's one that is sort of in the kids

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 3>lunch box snack section. But I think the other take

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 3>home message is if you're going to the movies, you

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:51.680
<v Speaker 3>are a million times better to take your own than

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 3>the stuff you're getting there, because there is some question

0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.240
<v Speaker 3>around the type of fat and whether they even contain

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.520
<v Speaker 3>some trans fats, which we know are almost toxic to

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 3>the body. So even though you would say yes, they

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 3>do have some fat, they're going to have far far

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 3>less and far less salt than when you're getting it

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 3>from the actual outlet. Plus you're going to save a

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 3>lot of money because it's so expensive by there.

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>It was like ten dollars.

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so yeah, certainly popcorn at the movies is not

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.400
<v Speaker 3>a healthy choice by any means, and if you can

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 3>avoid it, you're going to be much better nutritionally with

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 3>any of these that you take in, both from a

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 3>price perspective and nutritionally, because yeah, I'd be sort of

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 3>concerned about the type of fat they're using, and you know,

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 3>even questioning if it does contain some trans fats, but

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm just trying to get a number on this. Messy

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Monkey's brand says no palm oil, no MSG lightly salted popcorn.

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>So the Messy Monkey is one which is sort of

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>marketed at more kids. So thirteen grams serving size is

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>much smaller portion, definitely kid appropriate, twenty one point five

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>grams of fat, and they are using some flat oil.

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's still twenty three percent fat, so they're not

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 3>like either coals is the winner.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>It is actually very hard to find a pre popped

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>popcorn on the market without either some sort of butter

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 1>or butter equivalent or some sort of oil in it.

0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>They're actually quite high and in fat when you look

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>at it in terms of the nutrient panel overall, but

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the serving sizes, like thirteen grams for

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 1>little kids, it's got you know, two point eight grams

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 1>of fat total, so it is you know, a lower

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 1>amountain I do, you know, I'd much prefer the meeting

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 1>something like popcorn than I would, you know, a bag

0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of potato chips, So I do think, you know, popcorn

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>definitely has a place in the market, particularly because it

0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 1>is a whole grain as well, so we're adding beneficial

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>five but into our diet, particularly for our gut heals

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>as well, and it's very allergy friendly as well. Popcorn,

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the pain in the butt is that it does tend

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to get stuck in your teeth. So I used to

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>always hate taking it as a work snack because I

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>could never brush my teeth afterwards. I need to floss

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 1>after I have some popcorn.

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 3>And you do have to be careful with smaller kids

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 3>obviously because of the small pieces around it. But you know,

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.560
<v Speaker 3>it's certainly if your kids like it, and it's you know,

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.119
<v Speaker 3>a packet snack, it's a million times better than biscuits

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 3>and sweet products like that, So there's certainly a place

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 3>for it. And I'd be looking for ones with better

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 3>quality oil and the lower the sodium. So and if

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 3>you can get away with getting that rather than buying

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 3>the movie popcorn, you'll be on the right track as well.

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 1>So Nutrition Couch green Light for the home brand again,

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 1>so budget friendly and probably the better option out of

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>the three that we looked at today. Susie True True True,

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>which is very pertinent at the moment when we're paying

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>twelve dollars for lettuce and eight dollars for a broccoli.

0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, that brings us to the end of

0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.440
