Oregano popcorn delicious and nutritious from Nutrition and You

Irene Hess-Oates



Oregano essential oil is a medicinal oil that is rich in antioxidants. It can help reduce inflammation, and has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal properties. In naturopathic medicine Oregano essential oil is often used in capsule form to assist respiratory infections, oral thrush and other yeast infection, gut parasites, and harmful bacterial overgrowth. Or a few drops in a capsule for gut pathogens, or colds and flu symptoms. Oregano essential oil is a ‘hot oil’ and a little goes a long way, so using a few drops in popcorn creates a wonderful flavour. Please note that oregano essential oils are destroyed with heat, so add them after cooking.


Ingredients:


1/2 cup organic popping corn

1 tablespoon of butter

1/3 cup of organic olive oil

½ teaspoon of sea salt

1 to 2 cloves of crushed fresh garlic

6 to 8 drops food approved Oregano Oil

I use a popcorn maker to pop the corn

And a large saucepan with a lid to mix everything in


Method:-


Cook ½ a cup of corn at a time

Place saucepan under the pop corn machine outlet to catch the popped corn in.

Cook garlic in butter on low heat for 1 to 2 minutes.

Remove saucepan from heat and add sea salt, and olive oil.

Stir oregano oil into the oil mix pour over popped corn

Replace the saucepan lid, hold the saucepan lid in place and gently shake to mix the ingredients through.


This delightful combination keeps well, has good fiber and is nutritious. Great for school lunches, dinner parties, a quick meal with some salad greens and a boiled egg for example. Or check out our Nutrition and You Sea Food mix which is quick and easy to make. Our crunchy hamburgers or party pies are also gluten free favorites.


Please note: - I only use food approved Oregano oil which is the secret ingredient in this mix. Please call Irene for further information on this essential oil.
