How much starch is in corn?

Answer 1

Popcorn is produced from zea mays, a type of corn that has a thin enough outer hull to allow for the corn to pop when heated. Like other starchy vegetables, popcorn is a rich source of carbohydrates.

Starches 101: Starches are a white chemical that all plants naturally produce. As a polysaccharide, starches, which are a type of carbohydrate, break down into glucose in the body, which provides fuel for your body's activities and is especially important for brain function. A 1-cup serving of popcorn has 6.2 grams of carbohydrate, which becomes glucose in your body after it is digested.

Resistant Starch: Popcorn contains type one resistant starch, which is found in the cell walls of plants. It's present in seeds, beans and grains, including corn. As its name implies, resistant starch resists digestion, so it passes through to your gut primarily undigested, providing a source of nutrition for the healthy bacteria that lives in your digestive tract. In addition to providing fuel for your gut's bacteria, resistant starch may also help keep your insulin levels steady, reducing spikes in blood sugar.
