What it is
Ground organic blue corn is made from dried blue corn kernels that have been milled into a coarse or fine powder. Blue corn is a variety of flint corn, native to the Americas, known for its deep blue or purple hue.
Why it's used
It is primarily used as a flour or meal to add a distinct color and mild, nutty flavor to food products. Manufacturers use it in snacks like tortilla chips, crackers, and pretzels, as well as in baked goods such as muffins and cornbread.
Health notes
Ground organic blue corn is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates, fiber, and antioxidants, including anthocyanins, which give it its blue color. These compounds are also found in blueberries and red cabbage. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming ground blue corn at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
