Popcorn: For Your Health:

These days, Americans are snacking more than ever. In f, roughly 25% of the total calories we eat every day come from snacks, which is why it's important to choose foods that fit into our healthy lifestyles.

One way we can snack smarter is by adding more whole grains and fiber to our diets. Only 20% of Americans reach the recommended whole-grain intake, and only 5% reach the recommended fiber amount.

Luckily for us, popcorn provides both of these nutrients, especially compared to other common snacks like chips and candy. Studies have even shown that popcorn eaters have twice the amount of whole grains in their diet and about 20% more fiber.

Another reason popcorn should be your snack of choice is because you can eat more for fewer calories. Other snacks can have triple the amount of calories in a 1-cup serving. So next time you're craving a snack, choose the one that allows you to have all of the flavor, with none of the guilt.

How Popcorn Pops:

Popcorn is a whole-grain maize product, grown extensively in the corn belt states of the U.S. It's like corn-on-the-cob in appearance and cultivation, but only popcorn kernels are capable of popping.

Popcorn's ability to pop lies in the f that the kernels contain a small amount of water stored in a circle of soft starch inside the hard outer casing. When heated, the water expands, creating pressure within, until eventually the casing gives way and the kernels explode and pop. This allows the water to escape as steam, turning the kernels inside out.

The key to having more kernels pop is a constantly improved product. Throughout the years, popcorn processors have implemented significant hybrid popcorn seed research to continually enhance their product.
