Purple corn has been grown in Peru for over 2,500 years! Known as one
of the 'lost foods of the Incas' we are so fortunate that it's still
around today and that purple corn products are available in Australia.
Purple corn is really high in phenolics as well as anthocyanins. What
this means is that if a product is high in phenolics then it's high in
antioxidants. Anthocyaninins (The word anthocyanin is derived from the
Greek terms, anthos, meaning flower, and kyanos, meaning blue.1)
create blue, purple or red colours in foods. They are anti inflammatory
and encourage connective tissue regeneration. They are antioxidants as
well as promoters of blood flow and collagen formation, and help to
reduce cholesterol.
Purple corn extract is created by slowly juicing purple corn at slow
speed then evaporating the juice at very low temperatures to allow for
maximum nutrition and flavour. Once the liquid is gone, what remains is
this super fine powder just waiting to be added to your food. Add to
smoothies, raw desserts, juices, puddings, and dips for a purple hit in
your day! Added to chocolate purple corn extract will give a whiskey
type of flavour but without the alcohol!
Purple corn extract is extremely lightweight. A little of this
product goes a long way. Just a pinch will add vibrant color and
antioxidants to whichever food you add it too. Kids love the colour and
so will you!
