Snack healthy:eat popcorn!

Snack healthy:eat popcorn!

Popcorn has an unjustified bad reputation. It contains more antioxidants than fruit and vegetables.

Foamy texture
The renowned American website medicalnewstoday.com reports that. Popcorn is popped corn. By heating the kernels, steam is created in the corn kernels. The steam cooks the starch in the corn kernel and when the pressure in the kernel becomes too high, the husk cracks and the starch is given room to expand. This creates the foam-like structure of the puffed corn kernel.

Anti-Inflammatory
Not only does popcorn contain fiber that is healthy for your digestive system in your gut, but also polyphenols. These antioxidants are anti-inflammatory and ensure that fatty substances do not settle in your blood vessels. Popcorn is the only snack that is 100 percent whole grain. All other grains are processed and diluted with other ingredients.

Fat and Calories
Only sweet popcorn, salt and fat additives that movie theaters sometimes use make it an unhealthy snack full of fat and calories. Microwave popcorn also contains twice as many calories as popcorn that is popped naturally.
