The gourmet popcorn business is one of the fastest-growing snack food businesses in the world. Businesses that sell gourmet popcorn do not require as much capital as other businesses.

Gourmet popcorn businesses are recession-proof because people will always consume snacks regardless of the economy. To start a gourmet popcorn business, you must invest in equipment and cooking supplies. You can also make your popcorn home and sell it on the street.
