Popcorn is a staple for watching movies however, when hulless, it allows more people to enjoy it.

Fibre-filled popcorn, low in calories and sugar, is the perfect snack. However, for those with dentures and sensitive gums it can be tiresome and even painful to have kernals stuck in teeth. Those with celiac diseas cannot enjoy popcorn as well, due to the tough kernals that may accentuate pain and irritation in the gut. To reduce this, kernal free popcorn can be popped for a healthy and pain-free snack. While all popcorn needs this kernal to pop, varieties of popcorn can be purchased where the hull, or kernal, shatters when it pops, automatically removing it before eating.
