Purple Corn Flour

EverydayDry

Purple corn flour is a finely ground powder made from dried purple corn, a variety of corn originating from the Andean region of South America. This vibrant flour retains the deep purple color of the corn kernels, which is due to high levels of anthocyanins, potent antioxidants linked to various health benefits. It can be used in place of or in combination with other flours in breads, tortillas, and other baked goods, imparting a slightly sweet flavor and striking color.
