Herbaceous Microwave Popcorn

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Nature's Crush Popcorn is Boosted by Real Herbs & Spices

— October 28, 2021 — Lifestyle
Nature's Crush Popcorn turns microwaveable popcorn into a savory treat thanks to crushed herbs and spices. The gourmet popcorn products are enhanced with all-natural ingredients like rosemary, lemon pepper, garlic, basil and in the Original 23, a secret recipe of nearly two dozen crushed herbs and spices.

These all-natural microwave popcorn snacks are free from artificial flavors, colors and preservatives, and the products are packaged in PFOA-free popcorn bags. Rather than relying on emulsified powders like most manufacturers, Nature's Crush Popcorn distinguishes itself with fresh, quality herbs and spices.

The newest microwavable popcorn flavor from the brand, Tex-Mex, recently made its debut at the NACS Show earlier this month. This offering shares the taste of a blend of chili, lime and sea salt.
