Purple Corn Health Benefits

The excitement of the nutrition world is the discovery of the wonder health and healing powers of purple corn. Nutrition scientists are amazed at the antioxidant capacity of this unique grain that comes from Peru, being particularly excited about clinical tests on anthocyanin, the secret power behind purple corn. Their findings prod some sectors to call purple corn the most powerful food on the planet!

It used to be Goji and Acai Berry. They're still super foods, but purple corn has surpassed their antioxidant power, totaling some 1,642 mg per 100 grams of anthocyanin power. And anthocyanin is among the most powerful antioxidants known to mankind, being a derivative of Oligomeric proanthocyanidin or OPC, which some experts say is really the most power.

Data gathered by Wikipedia on Anthocyanin show how superior purple corn is among other super foods as far as antioxidant capacity is concerned. Antioxidant capacity is measured now by how much anthocyanin is in food, because anthocyanin is among most powerful antioxidants, if not the most powerful. Thus, the more anthocyanin, the better antioxidant it is.

Among other powerful health benefits, anthocyanin is anti-cancer, anti-heart disease, anti-inflammation, anti-obesity, and anti-diabetes first and foremost. And purple corn anthocyanin--called Cyanidin 3 Glucoside or C3G for short--is a very powerful anthocyanin in particular. Here in the Philippines, purple corn juice being only a year old, numerous and amazing testimonies are already reported, giving empirical evidence of purple corn's tremendous effectiveness.

The best Thing about Purple Corn Juice

But the best part I like most about purple corn juice is it's luscious, refreshing, and super fruity taste. It tastes like a subtle combination of thick and sweet grape juice, kiwi, peaches, mangoes, and a little bit of dates--the best tasting date fruit. Kids just love purple corn juice. I have tasted a lot of other food supplements and given them to kids, and lots of kids don't like a majority of them. But purple corn juice--I haven't seen any kid reject its rich flavor. And kids know best when it comes to taste.
