Organic Blue Corn Flour

Organic blue corn flour is made from dried blue corn kernels that have been ground into a fine powder. Blue corn is a variety of flint corn native to the Americas, known for its distinctive deep blue to purple color.

Manufacturers use organic blue corn flour as a whole grain ingredient, providing color and a slightly different flavor profile compared to yellow corn flour. It is commonly found in tortilla chips, snacks, baked goods, and as a thickener in sauces and soups.

Organic blue corn flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of fiber and antioxidants, like anthocyanins, which contribute to its color. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn derivatives, generally considering them safe for consumption within typical dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from its consumption at levels found in food.
