Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn

High histamine

Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn is high because of its aged cheddar and buttermilk coating.

Dairy

This is popcorn tossed in vegetable oil and a cheesy coating of cheddar cheese, whey, and buttermilk.

  • Aged cheddar drives it — because cheddar is aged, it is high, and it defines the level of the whole snack.

  • Buttermilk adds to it — the cultured buttermilk in the coating is also high, so the cheese seasoning is what carries this, not the popcorn itself.

Plain popcorn is the gentler base when you want a similar crunch.
