We all know the yellow corn but we didn’t know about the black corn let us see! Black corn is native to Peru. It is often known as Aztec corn or Mexican corn. Black Aztec is an heirloom corn variety, it has deep purplish or black kernels. Black ones contain a plant pigment called anthocyanins.
Why it is black? Black corn occurs when any of several
saprophytic or weekly parasitic fungi grow on corn plants in the field. Alternaria,
Cladosporium, Aureobasiduim, and other species are frequently found on these discolored
or black plants.
Black corn has jet black kernels with a slightly purplish hue.
Black corn does stain and even removing the husks dyes your finger purples.
Black corn is one of the most potent vegetable sources of antioxidant-rich
color pigments. Purple-shaded black corn is good for reducing diabetes, obesity,
inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer also.
