About Snacks, popcorn, microwave, low fat

Popcorn is a whole-grain snack made from a special variety of corn whose small, hard kernels explode into light, fluffy puffs when heated. Each kernel holds a droplet of moisture inside a tough hull, and as it heats the moisture turns to steam and bursts the kernel inside out. A favorite at movie theaters, fairs, and homes around the world, popcorn is one of the few snacks that is also a whole grain, naturally providing fiber and antioxidant polyphenols.

Air-popped and lightly seasoned, it is low in calories, though butter, oil, sugar, and salt can quickly change that. It is popped on the stovetop, in a microwave bag, or in an air popper, then seasoned countless ways, from classic butter and salt to caramel corn, cheese, and kettle corn, and even pressed into snack bars and balls. It stays crisp when kept dry. Choose fresh kernels for the best popping, and store unpopped popcorn in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to keep the kernels from drying out and popping poorly.
