According to Starodubova, additives such as cinnamon, coriander, and turmeric can improve the taste of popcorn.

She noted that popcorn is a dietary dish, but additives significantly increase the calorie content.

It is added that the habit of sitting in front of the TV with popcorn is unfavorable, as it can lead to overeating. Taking this into account, it is better to take a small portion.
