Purple Corn (Zea mays) is a variety of corn, one of the valleys of the Peruvian Andes which are commonly grown to 3,000 m. There are different varieties of purple corn, all originated from the species "Kculli" that is still growing in the Peruvian Andes.
It has an intense dark purple and mysteriously if planted in a different country to Peru does not leave the same color purple, sometimes even up could go yellow. Specialists consider diverse hypotheses undiscovered factors in climate, land or water.
Purple Corn has been used since pre-Inca times and is found in different ceramic objects of culture "Mochica" dating back over 2,500 years.
For thousands of years, the people of the Andes have soaked Purple Corn to make a refreshing drink called chicha, which is now recognized as a nutritive powerhouse due to its extremely high anthocyaninin content.
Anthocyaninins are miracle molecules found in darkly colored fruits and vegetables. They’re being studied for their ability to improve everything from cardiovascular health to collagen regeneration. There’s also been some very promising studies on their effects on cancer cells.
Research on Purple Corn
Purple Corn has been studied several times , in a Japanese In vivo Study performed in rats , researchers found that when rats received a daily intake of Purple Corn which contained high levels of C3G , this component is the main anthocyanin present in Zea Mays L. Their serum showed a significantly decrease in the susceptibility of their serum lipids to undergo oxidation.
Recent experimental studies in animals and humans has shown that increased consumption of polyphenols can lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients , it can reduce the tendency of blood to clot and increase the total antioxidant capacity of the blood. Since the purple portion in Zea mays L. ' Kculli ' is rich in polyphenols, regular intake of this Peruvian plant could be useful for people suffering from hypertension.
