Blue corn, also referred to as Hopi maize, is a special type of maize that is predominantly grown and harvested in Mexico, and very parts of Southwestern United States like New Mexico and  Arizona.

 

There are different types of blue corn with respect to color: from powdery gray color to near-black. The 3 known varieties of the blue corn are thus:  standard blue, hard blue, and gray-blue.

 

Just as there are various colors of this exotic corn, there exists also several interesting benefits. This special corn has several amazing benefits built into its chemistry and structure.

Blue corn contains a lot of nutrients. It has been proven to possess more nutritional content than both white and yellow corn. Blue corn assumes it exotic color from anti-oxidant substances like anthocyanin and zeaxanthin that are present in its chemistry. These nutrients are similar to the ones present in other blue-colored foods as blackberries, blueberries, raisins and grapes.

 

Antioxidants have been scientifically proven to provide a lot of health benefits, some of which includes the prevention of illnesses like cancer and alzheimer’s disease, and blue corn acts very suitably in this capacity. Due to the rich supply of antioxidants in blue corn, they are also known to prohibit or prevent the occurrence of a wide range of age-related diseases like diabetes.

 

From a scientific study where Scientists studied lab rats placed on a high-fat diet, the samples that had their diet supplemented with the bluish-purple pigments present in blue corn showed less signs of quickly developing obesity and diabetes, unlike those that had pure high-fat. This proves that blue corn helps in the prevention of obesity and diabetes.
