What is blue cornflour?

Blue cornflour is a type of flour made from blue corn kernels. The blue color of the corn kernels comes from a pigment called anthocyanin, which is also found in blueberries and other fruits and vegetables. Blue cornflour is commonly used in traditional Native American cuisine, particularly in dishes like tortillas, breads, and tamales. It has a slightly nuttier and earthier flavor compared to regular cornflour. Blue corn also contains more protein and fiber than yellow or white corn. Additionally, the high level of antioxidants in blue cornflour have been linked to potential health benefits such as reducing inflammation and lowering cholesterol levels.
