Stephen, Alexander M. (1936), Parsons, Elsie Clews (ed.), Hopi Journal of Alexander M. Stephen, New York: Columbia University Press, pp.961, 1191

Anthocyanins are linked to potential type 2 diabetes benefits. They’re primarily located in the beans’ seed coat and are responsible for their dark color. They’re also responsible for the color of red and pink bean varieties ( 4). Lutein. One of the main carotenoids in corn, lutein serves as an antioxidant, protecting your eyes from oxidative damage produced by blue light ( 25, 26). This is a red-colored corn that was commonly grown in America in the 1800s. It has a unique flavor and is still used to make cornmeal and flour. Blue Corn One study showed that corn zein caused an inflammatory reaction in a subgroup of people with celiac disease. Nevertheless, the reaction to zein was much smaller than that of gluten ( 61). Niacin. Also called vitamin B3, niacin in corn is not well absorbed. Cooking corn with lime can make this nutrient more available for absorption ( 2, 20).Taste - Slightly nutty, sweet& earthy. The longer you cook them, the sweeter & richer in flavour they become. This root vegetable is relatively unknown but so incredibly versatile & underrated. If you can get your hands on it, definitely give it a go! Higher in starch and lower in sugar than table corn, the type of corn eaten as a vegetable. One of the most cultivated crops around the world. In addition to being used as a source of food for humans, dent corn provides corn starch and other byproducts. Some people also call dent corn “field corn” to distinguish it from table corn. Varieties of blue corn cultivated in the Southwestern United States vary in their respective contents of anthocyanins, the polyphenol pigment giving the corn its unique color. [14] Anthocyanins having the highest contents are cyanidin 3-glucoside (most abundant), pelargonidin and peonidin 3-glucoside. [14] Food uses [ edit ]

Manganese. An essential trace element, manganese occurs in high amounts in whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. It’s poorly absorbed from corn due to this vegetable’s phytic acid content ( 12).Corn may contain a fair amount of several vitamins and minerals. Notably, the amount is highly variable depending on the corn type. In fact, studies show that for every 10 grams of total fiber consumed, the risk of mortality from heart disease may decrease by 27%. Similarly, consuming 5–10 grams of soluble fiber per day may reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels by 5% ( 4, 9). Japonica Striped Maize’ Ornamental Corn A very unusual corn and one of the prettiest types, Japonica Striped Maize has both variegated leaves and colorful ears. Leaves are striped white, green, yellow and red-pink. Ears have dark purple tassels and bright red kernels. The colors seem to develop better when plants are spaced at least half a metre (18″) apart. Plants grow to about 2m (6ft). Taste - They’re mild in flavour, slightly sweet and easy to incorporate into many dishes. When cooked, they become soft& creamy.
