Purple Corn
Purple corn is cultivated at altitudes between 500 and 3,500 meters in regions such as Ancash, Apurímac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, and others. It is rich in anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that give it its distinctive color, along with vitamin C. These nutrients help promote cardiovascular health, support digestive health and maintain skin health by reducing oxidative stress.
However, purple corn may affect blood sugar levels, so individuals with diabetes should monitor their intake accordingly.
