About Palomitas
Palomitas, known as popcorn in English, are a popular snack originating from Mesoamerican cuisine, where maize was cultivated and enjoyed for centuries. Made by heating dried corn kernels until they puff, palomitas are light, airy, and versatile. On their own, they are naturally low in calories, high in fiber, and contain small amounts of essential nutrients like vitamin B and antioxidants. However, their nutritional profile can change significantly depending on preparation methods. Air-popped palomitas are a healthy choice, as they avoid added fats and sodium. When cooked in oil, flavored with butter, or coated in sugar, they can quickly become calorie-dense and less heart-healthy. Still, palomitas can be a smart snack option when enjoyed in moderation, especially with minimal added seasonings. Popular worldwide, palomitas remain a staple for movie nights and everyday snacking.
