Yes, according to the Whole Grains Council, "whole grains or foods made from them contain all the essential parts and naturally-occurring nutrients of the entire grain seed!." Popcorn is absolutely a whole grain!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Corn is a whole-grain!. It is in the family Poaceae (grasses) and genus: Zea (tall grasses)!. It is mostly starchy like grains, but also has a good amount of fiber!. Non-scientifically speaking though, if I ate corn with my meal, I'd count it as a vegetable!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
According to my husband who has been a vegetarian for 13 years, it is indeed a whole grain!.
