About Blue corn tortillas
Blue corn tortillas are a traditional staple of Mexican cuisine, made from blue maize, a variety of corn native to the Americas. Unlike white or yellow corn tortillas, they are characterized by their vibrant color and slightly nuttier, sweeter flavor. The primary ingredients typically include blue corn masa flour, water, and sometimes a pinch of salt. Blue corn is a rich source of antioxidants like anthocyanins, which give the tortillas their distinctive hue and may support heart health and fight inflammation. These tortillas also contain fiber, essential minerals such as iron and zinc, and are naturally gluten-free. However, some store-bought versions may include additives or higher sodium levels, so checking labels is recommended. Blue corn tortillas are a nutritious alternative to conventional tortillas and can be used in tacos, wraps, or enjoyed with dips for a satisfying, health-conscious option.
