Yep, your movie buddy has great health benefits that you may not even know about!
Popcorn not just elevates a movie-time experience, it also beats a whole range of unhealthy snacking options when it comes to health benefits.
Lets explore some of the main health benefits of our beloved snack and why it may be a good idea to include it in your diet.
Popcorn is a great source of dietary fiber, which is essential for regulating digestion and promoting feelings of fullness. Fiber helps to slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, which can prevent spikes in blood sugar levels. This makes popcorn a great snack option for people with diabetes or anyone looking to control their weight.
Popcorn is also rich in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols. Antioxidants help protect against damage caused by free radicals which can lead to diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's. Eating a diet that is rich in antioxidants can help to reduce the risk of these diseases.
Low in Calories! One serving of popcorn (about 3 cups of popped popcorn) has only about 93 calories, making it an appealing option for those of us trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
Popcorn is naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable snack option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
Popcorn is made of 100% natural whole grains, which has been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Whole grains are also rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are essential for good health.
I wanted to create a range of healthier seasonings that complements the healthy canvas of popcorn but also elevate the taste to a level not achieved before.
The possibilities for mixing and matching our flavours make for an endlessly, addictively tasty snack, minus the guilt!
The next time you reach for a snack, consider munching on some popcorn instead of a less healthy option, oh and shake some of our seasonings on it too - you'll be glad you did...
