Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedAir-popped popcorn is recommended during pregnancy as an outstanding whole-grain snack. It delivers abundant dietary fiber with minimal calories to help alleviate pregnancy constipation. Keep seasonings light by choosing plain or lightly salted kernels rather than heavy butter toppings. Munch on a three-cup bowl for satisfying volume without excess sodium.
