I just love popcorn and so does my daughter. I have used freshly prepared watermelon juice along with chervil/parsley/cilantro juice for making this popcorn, hence extremely healthy for kids. I am so glad it came out just great and my daughter also likes it. This is a great snack or dessert for kids. Please try it. Hope your kid likes it too. Thank you.
