Peruvian Organic Purple Corn Flour

This product is not currently available.

Maíz morado (or, purple corn) has been a Peruvian superfood for millennia. Archeologists even discovered images of it decorating vessels dating back to the ancient Mohica culture. That royal purple color means it’s abundant with antioxidants. In Peru, they blend it into a refreshing chicha morada, a beverage that, along with the maíz, contains pineapple, apples, cinnamon, clove, sugar, and lemon or lime. But, feel free to mix it into your next batch of corn muffins and watch as your kids revel at the royal all-natural purple food color.

Here's what you get:

  • Two 1 lb boxes of organic Purple Corn Flour

Peruvian Diversity

Peru is rich with enticing ingredients. The Peruvian Andes, alone, is home to one of the world's most important centers of genetic diversity. Peru alone has more 35 species of corn, 2,000 varieties of potatoes, and 650 native species of fruit. Zócalo seeks out these ancient grains, legumes, and fruits from the small producers who have cultivated their land for generations. Incredibly nutritious, the products are also naturally gluten-free.
