Popcorn

Popcorn Popcorn is a popular whole grain snack made from a specific type of corn (Zea mays everta) that has the unique ability to pop when heated. When exposed to heat, the moisture inside the kernel turns to steam, building pressure until the kernel bursts open, creating a fluffy, airy snack. Low in calories and high in fiber, popcorn is a healthier alternative to many traditional snacks, making it a favorite for movie nights and casual gatherings. It can be enjoyed plain or seasoned with a variety of toppings, such as butter, salt, cheese, caramel, or spices, allowing for endless flavor combinations. Rich in antioxidants and whole grains, popcorn also provides a satisfying crunch and can be a part of a balanced diet. Whether air-popped for a light treat or prepared with gourmet seasonings, popcorn is a versatile and enjoyable snack that appeals to both children and adults alike.
