Salted retail popcorn is a snack made from maize kernels that have been heated until they pop, with salt added. The figures for this ready-to-eat form are estimated from label data. Per 100g, it provides 59g of carbohydrate, 24g of fat, 9.3g of fibre and 1.8g of salt.
Carbohydrate and fat provide energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, as eating too much salt can contribute to raised blood pressure. Fat also contributes to the energy content, which may be relevant for people watching their energy intake. Full nutritional figures are given in the tables below.
