I have a huge question about popcorn. I know it might sound like a dumb question but....Is popcorn a vigitable? I mean it's made from corn, and the last time I checked corn was a vegitable. I really do think it is a veggie.
Someone please help me settle this argument in my mind.

It is a vegetable, but on nutrition charts it is usually considered a grain.

lol, not its not. The actual pop corn seed is not vegetable when you cook it its not considered nutrional anymore and becomes something else with no nutritional value. Kinda like in a diet raw carrots are a freeby but then when you cook them you have to count them for 2 points, or when a cake goes from a liquid to a solid. Do you ever see corn on the food pyramid under veggies? And have you ever heard of seeds qualify under veggies. Nope

(I love people who have arguments with themselves because when you have a conversation with them, it's like a jabbery crowd. : )
Popcorn is a grain or cereal, coming from corn. Here is an excellent website to learn more about the nutrition in popcorn as it is served many different ways. After you click on this link, then click on each entry of popcorn types to see the official nutritional breakdowns:

well corn is technically a grain, not a vegtable. Corn is actually sort of a type of wheat, sorta. Its a crazy mixed up world we live in

I agree with you. And if it's not, I will join you in a fight to get it changed. SPREAD THE WORD! Popcorn is a Vegetable!

I think once you cook it into popcorn it would turn into a grain.

I think it is part veggie part snack,but mostly snack because they have been added with many other ingredients and it tastes more like a snack too!
