Popped corn, commonly known as popcorn, is a popular snack made by heating dried kernels of a specific type of maize until they burst open. Originating from the Americas, where it has been enjoyed for thousands of years, it is now a staple treat worldwide. Popcorn is naturally low in calories and fat while being high in dietary fiber, making it a healthy option when prepared without added oils, butter, or excessive salt. It also contains antioxidants like polyphenols, which support overall health. However, pre-packaged or movie theater popcorn is often loaded with unhealthy fats, sodium, and artificial flavorings, which can offset its benefits. Air-popped popcorn is widely regarded as the healthiest preparation method. Its versatility allows it to be enjoyed as a savory snack with herbs or a sweet treat with a touch of cinnamon or honey.
