About Popcorn seeds
Popcorn seeds, derived from a special variety of maize, are a whole grain native to the Americas. When heated, their tough outer shell traps moisture, causing them to expand and transform into the fluffy, iconic snack we know as popcorn. Naturally low in calories and fat, popcorn seeds are packed with fiber, making them beneficial for digestion and satiety. They also contain essential nutrients including magnesium, phosphorus, and polyphenols, which have antioxidant properties. When prepared without excessive oil, butter, or sugar, popcorn is a heart-healthy snack suitable for many diets. However, pre-packaged varieties and movie-theater styles are often high in sodium and unhealthy fats, making them less nutritious. This versatile ingredient can be seasoned to suit sweet or savory cuisines, making it a popular choice around the world.
