Depending on its preparation, popcorn can be a healthful snack. When air-popped, unsweetened, and unsalted popcorn contains plenty of fibre, vitamins, and minerals that the body needs. It is a natural whole grain, after all. Popcorn is discussed on the nonprofit The World`s Healthiest Foods site as, if not super-healthy, at least fundamentally not bad for you. And the popcorn`s hull is a rich source of the antioxidant polyphenols, known to prevent damage to cells.
