Red Corn 2

Denisse asks me about the red corn on the cob I had yesterday. I had no idea since it wasn't labeled at the produce place. I just grabbed it since it was so cool-looking.

Thanks to Food Blogga, I learn that white and yellow corn hasn't always been the norm. This colorful cousin, native to America, is rouge due to the presence of anthocyanins, which are antioxidants.

Ah, cool.
