Popcorn has found it's way into the hearts of millions of people all around the world as a favorite snack, however, there are some facts many do not know about the delicious snack and why they should eat it more regularly.
Here are five reasons you should eat popcorn everyday.
IT'S A HEALTHY WHOLE GRAIN: Popcorn is a whole grain and which means it's a good source of dietary fiber. Because of its high fiber content, eating popcorn may help to promote healthy gut bacteria — which are essential for a healthy digestive and immune system.
IT HELPS TO REDUCE HUNGER: Popcorn is a great between-meal snack. Popped corn is mostly air, which makes it highly effective for staving off hunger cravings without damaging your diet.
IT'S GLUTEN-FREE: Popcorn is gluten free, which means it can be used as a substitute to make breadcrumbs if you have gluten intolerance.
IT'S A GREAT WEIGHT-LOSS SNACK: Popcorn is the perfect snack for dieting, it’s sugar free(or at least less in sugar), fat free and low in calories.
YOU CAN'T GET BORED EATING IT: Popcorn is an incredibly versatile snack. Eat it plain, or spiced, or sweetened, or lightly buttered. Have it dry or gooey. It’s all good.
Do yourself good, eat popcorn today.
I would debate the fat free point, at least when it comes to popcorn sold in super markets.
Indeed I recognize the fact that most commercial varieties include added butter and oil. Thanks for your comment.
