Blue Corn Cornbread is a traditional dish rooted in Native American cuisine, particularly from Southwestern tribes. Made using blue cornmeal, its distinctive color comes naturally from anthocyanins, antioxidants that are linked to various health benefits. Typically, the recipe includes a combination of blue cornmeal, flour, baking powder, eggs, milk, and sometimes a touch of honey or sugar for sweetness. It has a slightly nutty, more complex flavor compared to cornbread made with yellow or white cornmeal. Blue corn is higher in protein and contains fewer starches, offering a more nutritious alternative to traditional varieties. While the bread is rich in fiber and essential nutrients, such as iron and potassium, some recipes may include butter or oil, elevating fat content. Pairing it with hearty soups or stews makes for a satisfying and balanced meal embraced by both its cultural heritage and modern health-conscious diets.
