What it is
Whole grain 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 cabbage. It is used as a whole food ingredient, meaning it contains the entire kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use whole grain purple corn flour primarily as a source of natural color, adding a purple or reddish hue to foods. It also contributes fiber and a mild corn flavor. It is found in cereals, baked goods, and snacks.
Health notes
Whole grain purple corn flour is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The anthocyanins it contains are antioxidants, which are compounds studied for their potential health benefits. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated anthocyanins, and research is ongoing regarding their effects. Evidence on specific health outcomes from consuming purple corn flour at typical dietary levels is still developing.
Allergen info
Whole grain purple corn flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
