Besides, is Blue Corn better?

This saying still holds true in the corn arena: blue corn is a healthier option. Its healthy status comes from the fact that it contains more of the amino acid lysine and the antioxidant anthocyanin than "regular" yellow corn. That being said, it can lose much of these nutrients when it's processed into a chip.

Likewise, what does Blue Corn look like? Blue corn is a kitchen chameleon. The kernels, a deep bluish-purple, turn pale blue-grey when ground into masa harina or cornmeal. When mixed with water, the batter turns to teal, lavender under some lights. Griddle cakes fry up golden on the outside, turquoise on the inside; cornbread cooks into colorful layers.

Simply so, does blue corn taste different?

Compared with their pale counterparts, blue corn chips also ring in with between 20 and 30 percent more protein and 5 to 10 percent fewer starch, which ultimately makes them a more filling snack. And they generally have a sweeter taste than regular corn ships to boot.

What are the benefits of blue corn?
