Foods you didn't know were healthy

There are some foods that people mistake for unhealthy and tries to avoid, but not everyone knows that there are some foods that are actually really healthy, I wrote some of them in this post. Enjoy :)

Pop corn
People tend to tag this food as "junk food" because they associate it with fatty things like butter, salt, chocolate and caramel, but plain pop corn is actually really healthy if you don't add oil and other stuff to it because of its big amount of fiber.
Chocolate
If you're finding this out for the first time, today's probably the best day of your life. Not everyone knows that dark chocolate has the antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances that are good for your heart's health. Still, you don't have to abuse of it, but one or two squares a day keep the doctor away!
Ketchup
It's rich in lycopene, a substance that can reduce your risk of heart disease. 
Coffee 
We are used to heart people saying that coffee is really bad for your heart, that might be true, but only if you abuse it. If you consume an ordinary amount of it, it can actually improve your health because it's full of antioxidants and believed to decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes and other diseases like dementia. 

Do you know any other healthy food that everyone mistakes for unhealthy? If you do, write it in the comments :)
