Popcorn, Popped

Popcorn, Popped

EverydayCooked

Popcorn is a whole-grain snack produced by heating specialized corn kernels until their moisture-filled hulls burst into airy, irregularly shaped pieces. When air-popped without additives, it offers a low-calorie, high-fiber option with only trace fat, though nutritional values rise significantly with oil-based preparation or added butter and salt. This naturally gluten-free snack provides a versatile base for both savory and sweet flavorings while retaining the bran and germ nutrients of intact whole grains.
