Can you believe popcorn is considered a junk food? Popcorn is actually one of the healthiest junk foods available. It actually has some things in it that are good for you like fiber. You can eat a lot of popcorn before it adds up calories. Four cups of popcorn has only 92 calories and only 1 gram of fat if it is popped with hot air. These number are more if you pop your popcorn in oil. The nutritional value of popcorn is 71% starch with other carbohydrates,10% protein, 3% is fat and there are a trace of vitamins and minerals and 14% of the kernel is water. If you pop your popcorn with a hot air popper it has much less fat then if you use oil methods.

Popcorn Facts:

Popcorn has a hard kernel and when the kernel dries a little water is sealed inside the popcorn kernel so when the kernel gets heated up to a certain temperature the water inside the kernel actually boils and the pressure causes the kernel to pop into popcorn. It literally turns itself inside out when it pops showing off its white interior.

Pop yourself and your family some popcorn today, and eat one of the healthiest junk foods available!
