Popcorn: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Popcorn is a popular snack made from heated maize kernels. This category includes a variety of popcorn products, from plain kernels for home popping to pre-packaged sweet, salted, and flavoured varieties. When choosing popcorn, consider the nutrition information. Look at the sugars content, as many pre-flavoured options can be high in added sugars. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends limiting free sugars. Salt content is also important; adults should aim for no more than 6g of salt a day, and packaged foods will declare this. Fibre is a beneficial nutrient found in whole grains, so check the ingredients list for 'wholegrain' or 'whole' maize as the primary ingredient. Some popcorn products are high in fat, salt, or sugar (HFSS), and may be subject to UK advertising and placement restrictions. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
