Purple Corn 7:1 Extract (100g)

Purple corn is a crop from the low Andean valleys region. Purple corn is locally called "maiz morado". Purple corn is a common plant in Peru. Purple corn can grow in coastal areas, and also in areas with high altitude (up to 10,000 feet).

Purple corn is a powerful antioxidant which comes from Peru. It is a plant which is greatly revered in Mayan culture; it is said to be the plant of remembrance. It is a very ancient plant, and like eating algae, eating it connects us to our ancient cellular memory.

Purple is the colour associated with the third eye, or pineal gland, and we do not get enough purple food in our diet. Taking it in such a pure form as this extract, helps us get the purple ray into our auric field, and makes us feel more whole.

There is an ancient Hopi prophecy that says that when purple corn comes to the West, that is a sign that great changes are happening on the planet.

Having a high concentration of phyto-nutrients and phenolic compounds, research will show you that this food might just be a good thing to have in your cupboard.

Note: this is the extract, a 7:1 concentration !

You need very little purple corn extract to feel the effects; just an eighth of a teaspoon is enough to begin with. Add to smoothies, puddings and milk to make beautiful purple drinks and desserts. You will not notice any effect from using plain purple corn powder - it has to be the extract.

For thousands of years, the people of the Andes have soaked Purple Corn to make a refreshing drink called chicha, which is now recognized as a nutritive powerhouse due to its extremely high anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins are the purple pigment also found in our acai powder, red wine and blueberries. CG3, the anthocyanin found in Purple Corn, is among the most potent antioxidants in existence.

Anthocyanins are believed to:

• Encourage connective tissue regeneration


• Anti-inflammatory


• Promote blood flow and reduce cholesterol


• Stabilize and protect capillaries from oxidative damage


• Stabilize connective tissue


• Promote collagen formation


• Improve microcirculation


• Help protect blood vessels from oxidative damage
