A Whole Grain You Already Love

Who knew popcorn and a movie could be part of a healthy eating plan? It can be, if you hold the dousing of those chemicals they call "butter flavoring" anyway!

Turns out popcorn is a perfect example of a whole grain you likely already know and love! And at just 31 calories per cup for air popped popcorn, you can snack away to your heart's content.

Avoid popcorn drenched in butter, oil, cheese or caramel because the fat and calorie content of these offset the whole grain health benefit.


3 cups is a South Beach grain serving.
