Snacking is a part of most people's daily lives. Whether it's a mid-day treat or a movie-time snack, we often reach for something to munch on. However, not all snacks are created equal regarding their nutritional value.
Popcorn
Popcorn is made from whole-grain kernels that pop when heated. It's a low-calorie snack that's high in fibre and antioxidants. It's also gluten-free, making it a good choice for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. A cup of air-popped popcorn (without added butter or oil) has just 31 calories and 1 gram of fibre. It's also a good source of polyphenols and antioxidants to help prevent chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
