Description:
Purple Corn has been consumed by the people of the Peruvian Andes for thousands of years. Recent investigations have discovered the deep purple kernels of this plant are rich in phenols called anthocyanins - the same antioxidant pigments that give blueberries their high ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) score. In fact, a recent comparative study found that the anthocyanin content of whole purple corn is over four times that of blueberries. It is this antioxidant value that helps to protect against tissue damage to the body and may help to protect against eye damage and cardiovascular concerns.
