Is popcorn one of your 5 a day?

Popcorn is not typically considered one of your "5 a day" servings of fruits and vegetables. While it is a whole grain and can be a healthy snack when prepared without excess butter or salt, it doesn't provide the same vitamins and nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. To meet your daily recommended servings, it's best to include a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables alongside whole grains like popcorn.
