- — Vegan, Raw
We can’t imagine a movie night without munching on the classic popcorn! Organic Yellow Popcorn by Food to Live is not only delicious but also full of nutritional value. Our Popcorn is a healthy alternative to sodium-rich processed chips and is super-quick to prepare. It contains no salt, oil or other additives and preservatives.
Our Popcorn is a USDA Organic, 100% Non-GMO and a Vegan product, which comes from whole yellow corn kernels of flint variety. Its main difference from yellow sweet corn is that the latter won’t pop when exposed to heat. Conversely, Organic Popcorn Kernels cannot be eaten from the cob. Not only are they harvested differently and planted separately, but they also have different shapes. Popcorn grains are round, whereas yellow whole corn kernels are rectangular.
Nutritional Value
Except for being tasty, popcorn is also a wholesome snack which is low in calories and high in fiber, which is good for the digestive system. It is also a great source of vitamins B1, B3, B6, Folate, and Pantothenic acid, which are linked to body metabolism. Organic Yellow Popcorn Kernels contain a fair amount of Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Zinc, and Manganese. In addition, they are rich in powerful antioxidants Polyphenols which are important for protecting our cells from free radicals and improving blood circulation.
