Organic Non-gmo Popcorn

Popcorn is a type of corn that expands and puffs up when heated. It is a whole grain that comes from dried kernels of Zea mays everta. The heat causes the moisture inside the kernel to turn to steam, building pressure until the kernel explodes, creating the fluffy white snack.

Popcorn is primarily used as a snack food, either plain or flavored. Manufacturers may add oils, salt, butter, or other seasonings to enhance its taste and texture. It is also sometimes used as a topping for desserts or as a crunchy ingredient in some trail mixes.

Popcorn is considered a whole grain and a good source of fiber. The FDA considers it Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for consumption. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated popcorn and its components. When prepared with minimal added fat and salt, it can be a healthy snack.
