Purple Super Foods: Purple Corn

I am officially a sucker for super foods…on Saturday I was in my favorite health food shop, and I saw some Purple Corn. That this super food supposedly helps to open the third eye charka, I just couldn’t help but grab it with excitement. Purple corn is a Peruvian super food cultivated in coastal areas, as well as in mountains of almost ten thousand feet. The Incas have considered their fermented purple corn drink called "Chicha Morada" sacred and medicinal. There are very few purple plants found in nature, and so for people who are looking to eat a true rainbow diet (which all of us should be working towards) purple corn extract is a fantastic addition… and it will turn your health smoothies purple! (Find out More About a Rainbow Diet) Packed with Phytonutrients and Antioxidants Purple corn contains a variety of phytonutrients (plant nutrients) including massive amounts of phenolics and anthocyanins. Research shows that crops with the highest phenolic and anthocyanin content also have the highest antioxidant activity. Anthocyaninins are a type of complex flavonoid that produces blue, purple or red colors. Anthocyaninins are anti inflammatory and encourage connective tissue regeneration. As well as being powerful antioxidants that keep us looking young and protected by disease, they promote blood flow and reduce cholesterol. It appears that anthocyaninins may stabilize and protect capillaries and blood vessels from free radical damage, and they have been shown to promote collagen formation (which is great for our skin!) improve circulation. Purple Corn has a higher antioxidant capacity than blueberries…making it one of the most exciting new super foods of our time. And speaking of exciting, there is an ancient Hopi prophecy that says when purple corn comes to the West, that is a sign that great changes are happening on the planet. What is happening??? Studies show that a diet rich in polyphenolic compounds is associated with reduced risk of developing cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. Recent research in both animals and humans have shown that increasing polyphenol intake

· Protect against atherosclerosis

· Lowers blood pressure,

· Reduces blood clots

· Elevates antioxidant capacity of the blood

A study by Tsuda & col. In 2003 revealed the effects of purple corn on obesity and diabetes. Two groups consumed a diet rich in fats for 12 weeks, but one of the groups also received purple corn pigments. The group consuming the purple corn

· Didn’t gain any weight

· Didn’t suffer hypertrophy in the adiposities of the fat tissues

· Didn’t show hyperglycemia (low blood sugar) , hyperinsulinemia (too much insulin in the blood, which is the beginning of diabetes), or hyperleptinemia (increased serum leptin levels, which is another marker for diabetes).

In comparison, the group that didn’t receive the extract and ate only a fat rich diet, showed an increase in all of those areas, thus showing the incredible benefits for fighting obesity and diabetes. A Japanese study at Nagoya University showed that the pigment in purple corn impedes the development of cancer in the colon. A sample group received food mixed with a natural carcinogenic substance which is found in the charred parts of roasted meat and fish, and another group also received 5% pigment of purple corn. In the group that was fed the cancer causing substance, 85% developed colon cancer, compared with only 40% that also received the pigment. As colon cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer, adding some purple corn to the diet is a pretty good idea! (Read more about colon caner here). Purple Corn and Raw Chocolate Recently I wrote a post about How to Make your own Raw Chocolate.  Since buying the purple corn, I have been substituting 1/2 of the mesquite for purple corn instead....boosting the super food power of the chocolate! images.jpg Related Posts
