Tag: Low sugar popcorn

Most commercially prepared cheese popcorn contains a minimal amount of sugar, often just 1-2 grams per serving. Despite its savory flavor, ingredients like whey powder and maltodextrin can contribute trace amounts of sugar, but cheese popcorn is far more notable for its sodium and fat content than its sweetness.

According to nutritional data, a single three-cup serving of plain, air-popped popcorn contains zero grams of sugar, making it an excellent base for a sugar-free diet. The real answer to 'is popcorn ok on a no sugar diet?' hinges on how it is prepared and what you add to it.
