Air Popped Kernels Have More Antioxidants Than Fruits And Veggies...
Dear Reader,
Sounds hard to believe, but it is true. So say University of Scranton researchers who have discovered that popcorn is naturally full of loads of antioxidants - just as many as some fruits and veggies we could name.
The compounds in popcorn are known as polyphenols and are also naturally abundant in foods like blueberries, pomegranates and kale. The most recent research in popcorn's benefits was presented by Joe Vinson, Ph.D., well known in the field of nutrition at the 2012 national meeting of the American Chemical Society.
In a project designed to reproduce the digestive process, the University of Scranton team confirmed that air popped kernels, not to mention their waxy outer hull, have 2% polyphenols. Two tablespoons of kernels pops up to about an ounce of popped corn, which gives you 500 mg of polyphenols.
Interesting that like so many other good-for-you-foods, many of the health benefits of popcorn come from the outer hulls, not the fluffy whiteness of the insides. This suggests it's fine to eat the seeds at the bottom of your popcorn bowl, just be careful of your teeth.
According to the study findings, polyphenol content breaks out like this:
- up to 300 milligrams per serving in popcorn
- 114 mg per serving in sweet corn
- 160 mg per serving in all fruits
The explanation is rather simple. Polyphenols are diluted by the water that's a natural part of nearly all fruits and veggies. These substances are more concentrated in the popcorn kernel, as this food averages only 4% water, instead of 90% for fruits and many veggies. It's the hulls, the part that seems to get caught in your teeth (or dental work) that has most of the polyphenols and that beneficial fiber.
The researchers estimate that the average American diet includes enough fruits to provide 255 mg of polyphenols a day. Veggies give us another 218 per day. A serving of air popped popcorn would offer 13% of the average daily intake, much higher than anyone had thought. And it tastes good too.

Air Popped Kernels Have More Antioxidants Than Fruits And Veggies... Continued...
Of course no one is suggesting that popcorn replace fruits and veggies as part
of a healthy diet, far from it. These foods are still the best choice because
of their high fiber, ample vitamins and nutrients, as well as their water content.
These are essential to staying healthy, and have things that popcorn, despite
being a great, healthy snack, just can't give us.
Also important to understand - air popped is what we're talking about here, not
the movie theater, dripping in butter (or butter substitute) and salt kind many
of us indulge in. Microwave popcorn has two times the calories of air popped...
so not a bad option, but not altogether a healthy one either. With about 43%
of microwave varieties being fat you can see why - popping in your own oil adds
28% fat content... better, but not by much.
What's more, a single serving of light and tasty air popped popcorn will give
you over 70% of your daily intake for whole grains. The average person only gets
about half a serving of these grains per day, so popcorn could be a tremendous
asset.
To your good health,
