Popcorn

Popcorn is made from heated corn kernels that explode into a light, crunchy snack and is popular in cinemas and as a quick at-home treat worldwide. As a whole-grain snack, it provides a notable amount of dietary fiber — 10.2g per 100g — which helps with fullness and digestive health. Popcorn delivers the benefits of a whole grain and some antioxidant compounds, but it can be low in high-quality protein and becomes much more calorie- and saturated-fat-dense when cooked or dressed with oil, butter or lots of salt.
