Blue Corn Flour

Blue Corn Flour

EverydayDry

Blue corn flour is a finely ground meal produced from traditional blue corn varieties, prized for both its striking color and enhanced nutritional profile. This gluten-free flour contains higher levels of protein and antioxidants compared to conventional yellow or white corn flour, particularly anthocyanins which contribute to its distinctive blue-purple hue. It's commonly used in traditional Southwest Native American cuisine for making tortillas, bread, and other baked goods, offering a slightly sweet, nutty flavor with a more dense texture than regular corn flour.
