About Airpoped popcorn
Air-popped popcorn is a light and nutritious snack made by heating popcorn kernels without oil, resulting in fluffy, whole-grain pieces. It has roots in Indigenous cuisines of the Americas, where maize was a staple crop, and remains a popular snack worldwide. With no added oil or butter, air-popped popcorn is naturally low in fat and calories, offering about 30 calories per cup. It contains fiber, which supports digestion, and small amounts of vitamins and minerals, such as magnesium and phosphorus. Because it’s minimally processed, it has a lower glycemic index compared to many other snacks. To maintain its health benefits, avoid excessive toppings like butter, salt, or sugary coatings, as these can add calories and reduce its nutritional value. Simple and satisfying, air-popped popcorn is a versatile choice for healthy snacking or as a base for creative flavor combinations.
