Popcorn Kernels

Popcorn Kernels

EverydayDry

Popcorn kernels are whole-grain maize seeds specifically cultivated to expand and pop when exposed to dry heat. Each kernel contains a small amount of water stored within its hard outer hull, which turns to steam during heating and creates the characteristic fluffy texture. When air-popped without added fats, they provide a high-fiber, low-calorie snack base that can be seasoned sweet or savory. Unlike processed snack foods, plain popcorn kernels contain no additives and maintain their natural nutritional integrity until preparation.
