Food and Cooking

I know of Gayelord Hauser's Spike seasoning which is salt-free. I use salt for food lots of times, but Spike and melted butter elevate our popcorn's taste.

With an spice grinder it becomes a lot easier:

1. Salt, msg, chili and citric acid
2. Salt, dried out parmiggiano reggiano and black truffle
3. Salt and msg
4. Salt and nutritional yeast for that "fake cheesy" flavor

Flavacol :) (https://whatthepopcorn.com/what-is-flavacol/) Basically, it's "movie popcorn flavor"

Nutritional yeast, garlic powder, msg, and salt is my go to. I mix it up with other spices too but the nutch and msg reminds me of cheese puffs. Have to start with plain popcorn though, I don't like nutch with buttered popcorn.
Coconut oil and salt is also amazing.

Some dashes of hot sauce can be nice. Doesn’t usually make it too soggy as long as you’re not to wild in the streets with it.

Popcorn is super flexible, if there’s a flavor you like there’s a good chance you’ll like it on popcorn… just have to watch out for texture. You want to add a little moisture but not make it wet, beyond that… you are the artist and the popcorn is your palette 🎨

I top my popcorn with Lawry's garlic salt. Tastes great on actual corn too.

I'm a big fan of the Cheesy Seasoning Blend at Trader Joe's!

I'm not a big popcorn guy, but have a garlic/salt/pepper mix that I put on almost everything I can. I bet it'd be good on popcorn.

You could probably go with garlic salt though for something similar, if you don't like pepper. Maybe some parmesian, since that's salty too.

I always like to mix in some butter and sriracha

To get the movie theatre experience you can use oil and butter-salt (the yellow powder they use). Try peanut oil for cooking in a pot, then butter-salt, and top with drizzle of real melted butter. Obviously not a healthy choice but it’s great.

Grated Parmesan cheese

Consider olive oil instead of butter just in general. We just do olive oil and salt but love some of the other ideas here.

I have never tried this myself, but I am curious to know how well furikake works with popcorn.
