Satisfy Your Thirst with Organic Purple Corn Drink: A Surprisingly Cool and Refreshing Recipe
More than 2,000 years ago, ancient civilizations such as the Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs ate purple corn as a staple food. In the Andean region of South America, particularly Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Argentina, purple corn has been extensively grown and harvested.
Because of the high concentration of phenolics and anthocyanins in Purple Maize, which also goes by the name “purple corn,” it is botanically identical to regular table corn. Purple corn may be one of nature’s richest sources of anthocyanins and polyphenols, according to research.
Cutetonic Organic Purple Corn Powder, which comes from the purple corn Zea mays variety, is one of the most abundant natural sources of anthocyanins (anti-inflammatory agent).
Purple corn contains powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory anthocyanins (cyanidin-3-glucoside or C3G) that are good for your health. As a result, Peruvian organic purple corn powder by Cutetonic improves your cell irrigation; calms and detoxifies; protects your body from disease-causing free radicals; encourages connective tissue regeneration; helps to regulate blood pressure; and regulates cholesterol levels (the antioxidant properties of C3G protects LDL-C from becoming oxidized, a key step in developing arteriosclerosis).
