Popcorn is one of the world’s most popular snack foods. However, popularity and nutrition are often at odds. Getting the full nutritional profile of any particular brand of popcorn is sometimes not easy to obtain–and missing on the actual product itself.
Popcorn has the word “corn” in it for good reason. When popped, it might not look like corn. However, it shares the same nutritional profile as any other type of corn. And this means that it’s totally gluten free.
However, it still has a texture which reminds many people of wheat products. This makes it an especially great addition to a gluten free diet. It allows one to enjoy a food product with some textural similarity to wheat products, but without the health concerns.
