So I started following a new blog today by this great lady named Leslie, and can you believe it?!? Her latest post is all about popcorn. Coincidence? I think not...more like it was meant to be.
Seriously, she had some great info about popcorn and how it's good for you. Couldn't resist sharing since in my pre-married days, popcorn and a glass of wine would frequently qualify as my dinner.
*Popcorn contains thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin, iron, phosphorus and calcium.
*In each 100 grams of popcorn there is 2.7 milligrams of iron -- more than eggs, roast beef, peanuts, milk and just shy of the 3 milligrams in spinach.
*Popcorn is also a source of protein.
*Popcorn is a whole grain!
So as long as you make it the old fashioned way (on the stove, not in the micro) and don't drown it in butter and salt, feel free to indulge!

And, without the butter, you can pretty much eat as much as you want without consuming too many calories!
