Popcorns have already been characterized as an excellent food with few calories and a lot of fiber, and a group of American scientists determined they contain more antioxidants than fruits and vegetables, because they contain only 4% of water, while in some types of fruits and vegetables the water percentage reaches 90.

Scientists have found that one serving of popcorn has about 300mg of antioxidants, which is almost twice as much as the 160mg that one serving of fruit contains.
