Popcorn is a whole grain, not a processed grain. Because of this, it contains B-vitamins that are important for energy production in your body and minerals like magnesium and phosphorous that can help prevent osteoporosis.

In fact, research has even shown that popcorn contains higher levels of polyphenols than many fruits and vegetables!
