8. Flint Corn is Popcorn

Producers seeking the best quality of popcorn must use a drying technique that is slow enough to prevent any stress on the flint corn kernels used, but fast enough to prevent mold development. Stovetop popcorn uses a bit of oil, which is a healthy way to include fat in the diet. Air-popped versions have the fewest calories. Popcorn is higher in antioxidants than some fruits and vegetables and a good source of fiber.
