Most of us picture bright, sunny yellow corn. But did you know it comes in blue, red, purple, white, and even black? That yellow color comes from carotenoids, the same pigments that make carrots orange.
Think of yellow corn as the standard model, but blue corn? That’s the limited edition, packed with anthocyanins (the same antioxidants found in blueberries). It’s like comparing a plain vanilla cupcake to a berry explosion one—both are delicious, but one has a whole different vibe.
