Corn, often known as maize, is the sole grain that originated in the Americas. Purple corn is an extra-large kernel maize produced in coastal and hilly portions of the Andes region of South America, in Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. It has rich purple kernels.
In the Peruvian Andes, corn kernels are used to color chicha morada and mazamorra, a popular street snack. Purple cornmeal and purple masa are made from the kernels.
Purple Corn is a superfood because it contains phenolics and anthocyanins, plant compounds found in purple, red, and blue-pigmented plants. Anthocyanin-rich plants are very antioxidant. A natural purple superfood, purple corn has more antioxidants than blueberries.
