“AMAIZINGLY” GOOD FOR YOU – HOW?

Purple Corn is full of Antioxidants, including exceedingly high amounts of  anthocyanins, which are good for your body. Much like paint protects your car from rust damage, antioxidants such as anthocyanins help protect your cells from damage.

PURPLE CORN CONTAINS EVEN MORE ANTIOXIDANTS THAN BLUEBERRIES!

Research has shown that blueberries are among the healthiest foods, due to their antioxidant content.   In fact,  just one cup of  Purple Corn can contain the same antioxidant value as 1-1/2 cups of blueberries.  No other corn comes close!

ANTIOXIDANTS, LIKE ANTHOCYANINS, HELP DESTROY DAMAGING FREE RADICALS THAT CAN LEAD TO CANCER AND OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS.  Iffree radicals go unchecked, it’s a lot like what rust does to a car. Here’s a quick way to understand just how good  Purple Corn is:

 

 

THE GREATEST BENEFIT IS THAT IT’S HEALTHFUL!

You are what you eat. And eating  Purple Corn is an effective and delicious way to increase your intake of healthy anthocyanins. 

Recent studies of fruits, vegetables, and grains containing high concentrations ofanthocyanins, (the pigment that imparts the vibrant color found in purple corn) have identified a number of important health benefits:

• OBESITY AND DIABETES PREVENTATIVE  – Scientists at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan found that dietary C3G prevented obesity in mice. Researchers are hopeful that a similar link in humans will be found on further study.
• POTENT ANTI-CANCER AGENT —Ohio State University researchers found that anthocyanin extract reduced cancer cell growth in rats and human cancer cells.
• ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES   – Researchers at Tokai Gakuen University in Nagoya, Japan confirmed the anti-inflammatory response of C3G, a benefit believed to be inherent in anthocyanins.
• HEART DISEASE PREVENTATIVE — According to research published in The Journal of Nutrition, there is evidence that long term dietary intake of plant-derivedanthocyanins may protect the heart by modulating cardiac antioxident defenses.

 PURPLE CORN CONTAINS THREE 
POWERFUL ANTHOCYANIN ANTIOXIDANTS: 

• Cyanidin-3-Glucoside (C3G)
• Pelargonidin
• Peonidin

Like other anthocyanins, they exhibit radical-scavenging properties, protecting our cells from oxidative damage and reducing our risk of cancer and heart disease.

A number of studies suggest that Cyanidin-3-Glucoside:

• Improves cardiovascular health
• Increases blood vessel function
• Lowers LDL cholesterol
• Improves vision
• Inhibits the growth of colon and lung cancer cells
• Minimizes the effects of aging
• Prevents obesity and diabetes

Some studies show that Pelargonidin:

• Exhibits anti-diabetic effects

Research indicates that Peonidin:

• Inhibits the growth of cancer cells
• Exhibits anti-inflammatory properties

 

Beyond the pleasing appearance on the plate, the purple color is a cue for nutritional power.

Purple is not simply a popular trend in fashion. This color of royalty, dubbed the “new black” by fashionistas, is also the new black in food.

In produce aisles, at farmers markets and on restaurant menus, you can now find an array of heirloom and specialty vegetables with a distinctive purple hue — purple potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, beans, corn, asparagus, peppers, baby artichokes and cauliflower.

Beyond the pleasing appearance on the plate, the purple color is a cue for nutritional power.

The dark pigments responsible for the purplish tones are called anthocyanins, a type of phytonutrient, or plant compound, hailed for its potential disease-fighting benefits. Studies suggest anthocyanins may help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer. Some evidence indicates these purple pigments may protect our brain as we age.

Anthocyanins belong to the flavonoids family of plant compounds. They are among the most potent of all phytonutrients and have gained the attention of scientists worldwide.

“If I could only eat one color per day, it would be purple,” said James Joseph, a neuroscientist at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University and co-author of The Color Code: A Revolutionary Eating Plan for Optimum Health. “There is more data on purple than any other color right now.”

The most concentrated natural sources of anthocyanins are blue and red fruits, including Blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, cherries, Concord grapes and lesser known berries such as chokeberries, elderberries and bilberries.

Get your purple on

Purple-hued vegetables are increasingly available during the summer at farmers markets. Here are ways to add purple to your plate:

• Sprinkle blueberries or blackberries on your morning cereal or oatmeal.

• Make coleslaw with shredded purple cabbage and purple carrots.

• Use purple potatoes in potato salad or include in a mixture of baby potatoes and roast with a drizzle of olive oil.

• Slice purple grapes and add to chicken salad or a tossed green salad.

• Make a chunky salsa with purple corn and purple onions.

• Add a side of steamed purple asparagus, beans or cauliflower at dinner.

 The power of purple :
PURPLE FOODS PROVIDE HEALTHY NUTRIENTS AND ANTIOXIDANTS

MANHATTAN -- When it comes to healthy eating, consider adding some powerful purple foods to your diet.

That's because many purple foods contain anthocyanins, which are red, blue and purple natural pigments. Anthocyanins are healthy because they're powerful antioxidants and may help boost the immune system, maintain health and prevent disease, said J. Scott Smith, Kansas State University professor of food chemistry.

"It's the name of the game right now," Smith said. "Everybody is really interested in antioxidants because they are thought to be healthy."

Anthocyanins are more prevalent in fruits than vegetables, Smith said, noting the deep red and purple hues of apple skin and grapes. Because anthocyanins are pH sensitive, they can appear more red or blue depending on the type of food.

Anthocyanins are especially common in berries, including blueberries, cranberries, raspberries and blackberries.

"That's why people say 'Eat your berries,' because they are very healthy for you,"
