What it is
Organic purple corn flour is made from dried, ground purple corn kernels. Purple corn gets its color from anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries and red wine. It is used as a whole grain flour.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic purple corn flour for its natural deep purple color and mild corn flavor. It can be found in baked goods like breads, tortillas, and muffins, as well as in snacks and cereals.
Health notes
Organic purple corn flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The anthocyanins in purple corn are antioxidants, which may have health benefits, though more research is needed. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated anthocyanins, but specific evaluations for purple corn flour are not widely published.
Allergen info
Organic purple corn flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
