Popcorn is as healthful as fruits and vegetables!

Today I picked up a copy of a magazine from USA Today called Fresh Women’s Health Guide. In an article listing 20 Superfoods, they listed Popcorn as one of the Superfoods! According to the article, “New Research suggests that this movie snack, sans butter, is as healthful as fruits and vegetables. Scientists recently measured the antioxidant content of popcorn and discovered that, compared with an equal quantity of produce, it contains similar amounts of antioxidants. Research also finds that this whole grain is rich in polyphenols, the heart-healthy substance found in red wine, tea, and chocolate. Serving Tip: Air-pop and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or a Cajun spice blend.”
