How about Whole corn kernels for a snack?

You are walking through Whole Foods and you come across a square plastic container filled with HUGE salted corn kernels. You taste the sampler and WOW! They taste like Fritos! But in whole grain form. Score!

Yes, these are real and they taste just like Fritos, except non-refined! Try them out at Whole Foods the next time you are there.

My conjecture on how "healthy" these are: corn products do add to the waist line, not a good fiber source, and even in unrefined form should be treated as an occasional splurge. Healthy rating: so-so

What's yours?
