The Health Benefits of Popcorn

There are over 12,000 species of corn and only a very small number of them can be popped. Popcorn has been enjoyed around the world for centuries. Americans eat about 17 billion quarts of popcorn a year which is almost 6,800 Olympic sized swimming pools full of popcorn. Because it's a whole grain and low in carbs, popcorn makes for a great, healthy snack that doesn't slow down.
