Tag: Chips vs popcorn

While air-popped popcorn is a whole grain known for its fiber and low-calorie count, a study from the National Institutes of Health highlights that preparation heavily influences its health benefits. This raises the question of whether adding cheese makes popcorn a healthier option than chips, or if it simply adds unnecessary fat and sodium.

As a 100% whole-grain food, popcorn offers a nutritional advantage over many processed snacks. But when you are faced with a craving for something crunchy, is it better to eat chips or popcorn? The answer depends heavily on preparation and your health goals.
