Purple corn concentrate

Purple Corn ((Sea mays L.) has long been revered by the indigenous peoples
where it is known as "the plant of remembrance”. Purple corn (Sea mays L.) is a tall annual cereal grass bearing large kernels very similar in appearance to common corn.
Purple corn dates back to the time of the Incan Empire in 3000-2500 BC. It originated in the mid-altitude region of central Peru then spread to the Peruvian coast and eventually to the high altitude Andean regions. The harsh environment of the Peruvian Andes, which rises 3000 to 4500 meters above sea level, forced this corn to fight for survival and increase its strength . This in turn led to the production of massive amounts of anthocyanins - the phytonutrients responsible for its deep purple colour.
Purple corn continues to surprise the world with its many medicinal uses and its use by chefs alike. More and more people can benefit from its virtues. Researchers have discovered that the health benefits of Purple corn (Sea mays L.) are largely tied to the high content of anthocyanins, the antioxidant-rich color pigments that give it its dark purple color.

In fact, purple corn has one of the absolute highest levels of a particular anthocyanin— cyanidin-3-glucoside—that has been attributed to a number of significant health benefits in humans, such as:

• Powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities
• Anti-mutagenic

The phenolic compounds were found to protect from life style conditions such as:

• Beneficial effects on cardiovascular health
• Blood pressure regulation
• Helps control obesity
• Supports healthy glucose and lipid metabolism.
• A culinary treasure
