About Whole black corn
Whole black corn, also known as maize morado, is a nutritious ancient grain originating from the Andes region of South America. Rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which give it its distinctive deep purple-black color, this variety of corn is celebrated for its health benefits. Black corn is a good source of fiber, which supports digestion, and contains essential vitamins such as B-complex vitamins and minerals including magnesium, zinc, and iron. It's lower in starch compared to yellow corn, making it a healthier option for those managing blood sugar levels. Traditionally, black corn is used in Peruvian cuisine to make dishes like mazamorra morada and the refreshing chicha morada drink. While it’s a healthy alternative in many recipes, it’s important to watch added sugars in sweetened black corn dishes. Offering a balance of nutrition and bold flavor, black corn is a valuable addition to a diverse and health-conscious diet.
