Caramel popcorn, nut-free — this is a type of snack that is produced by heating kernels of a certain corn variety. When heated in a dry pan or in a special machine, a thin crack forms on the kernel, which then rapidly expands, causing the grain to dramatically increase in volume.
The caramel used for popcorn is usually a sugar syrup heated to a temperature of 150–190 °C. The caramel gives the popcorn a sweet taste and a crispy texture.
This type of popcorn is nut-free, which makes it more suitable for people with nut allergies or for those who prefer popcorn without nuts.
However, it should be noted that some manufacturers may add other ingredients to caramel popcorn, such as oil, colorings or flavorings. Therefore, it is important to carefully read the product ingredients before purchase and to choose popcorn from trusted manufacturers.
