Now Pop This

Looking for a late-night nosh that’s actually good for you? Try popcorn. According to researchers at the Center for Human Nutrition, people who eat popcorn have an approximately 250 percent higher daily intake of whole grains and a 22 percent higher daily intake of fiber than non-popcorn eaters. For a flavorful twist: Shake curry powder or dried rosemary over popcorn, and add sea salt to taste.
