Does popcorn have any nutritional value? Assume it's the boring old plain popped kind without the butter/oil and salt added yet.

QUOTE (FYI @ Aug 20 2008, 05:05 PM)  QUOTE (existwhere? @ Aug 20 2008, 04:04 PM) Nutrition Facts Serving Size so basically no? Basically yes, it does have nutrients. Not a lot though. It's a good dieting food. -------------------- "If they would allow one dead soul to visit an assembly of philosophers, that would be the end of all their teachings."

assuming it's air popped, it's still a starch. simple carbs. i don't know if it's a good diet food, it isn't free like cukes or celery are.

It has lots of fiber, you can eat a large quantity of it, and it makes you feel full for a while so I'd say it's not a bad snack. Surely, it's not a meal.
