What it is
Organic popcorn is a variety of corn kernel that has not been treated with synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. When heated, the moisture inside the kernel turns to steam and expands, causing the kernel to pop open.
Why it's used
Popcorn is primarily used as a whole grain snack food. It is often seasoned with butter, salt, or cheese for flavor. Manufacturers add it to packaged popcorn products, snack mixes, and some baked goods.
Health notes
Popcorn is considered a whole grain and a good source of fiber. The FDA considers popcorn to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated popcorn and related compounds. While generally considered healthy, excessive consumption of heavily buttered or salted popcorn may contribute to high sodium or fat intake.
Allergen info
Popcorn is not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
