Blue or
purple corn is one of the special foods for rapid development. it is an
older, less hybridized type of corn that is quite nutritious and contains a
number of chemicals needed for rapid development.
Blue corn chips. Blue corn is becoming more available on
earth. The most common product and
the product that works the best is in the form of blue
corn chips.
We know they
tend to be greasy and salty. They
also contain refined vegetable oil.
However, some brands are not too bad and the oil seems to seal in
certain nutrients. The chips work
better than blue corn tortillas or blue corn cereal.
Recommended
brands.
At this time, we like Late July Blue Corn Dippers, Garden Of Eatin No Salt
Added and Private
Selection brand found in Kroger food stores. Other brands are also okay, but these are our current
favorites.
Blue corn substitutes. If you cannot tolerate or cannot obtain
blue corn tortilla chips, you may substitute:
1. Yellow
organic corn chips.
2. Yellow
corn meal cereal or polenta.
3. The grain
teff. Teff must be cooked – either pressure-cooked for
about 7 minutes are cooked in a regular pot with water for about 25-30 minutes.
None of
these are as good as blue corn chips, but they are better than nothing and
better than other grains.
Intolerance. Some people do not tolerate corn very
well. In this case, just eat a few
blue corn chips daily. As the body
heals, you will be able to handle more blue corn chips.
History. Blue or purple corn is an ancient
heirloom type of corn that comes originally from central Mexico. Today, it is grown in several nations,
including the United States.
Hybridization. Blue or purple corn are not too
hybridized or modified genetically, as is white corn. Many corn allergies involve the hybrids, so some people who
do not tolerate corn products well can eat blue or purple corn.
Gluten-free. Corn is gluten-free or very low in
gluten, so it can be tolerated by many people who are
sensitive to gluten.
When to eat
blue corn chips. Ideally, eat
them with every meal, and eat them after eating your protein and after eating
your cooked vegetables. In other
words, eat protein first, then vegetables and then a few blue corn chips. Eating food in this order is best for
digestion.
Snacking on blue corn chips. One can have blue corn chips as a
snack. This is okay, but not as
good because snacking is a little harder on digestion.
Blue corn is
very nutritious. Among its
nutrients are anthocyanins. These are pigments that give the corn the blue color. They are powerful antioxidants. They have specifically been studied for
their cancer-fighting ability and have definite anti-cancer properties.
Zeozanthene. The deep purple or purple color of this
corn is due to the presence of many vital nutrients. One group of these is the xanthenes such as zeozanthene.
These are powerful anti-oxidants and have other nutritional
benefits.
These are
the same nutrients found in other bluish foods such as blueberries, blackberries,
grapes and raisins. However, we
much prefer the xanthenes in the purple corn rather than those in the berries
because fruit is too yin for optimum health.
Blue or
purple corn is much more warming or yang, which we find to be much healthier
today. To read about the problems
with fruit, read Fruit-Eating on this site.
Selenium. Blue corn is rich in selenium
compounds.
Gold. Blue corn contains some unusual gold compounds that are
difficult to find in any other foods or in supplements.
Rancidity. Oils used in
blue corn chips can become rancid.
Always check the expiration date to make sure they are fresh.
Poor quality
oil or salt. The brands we
recommend are okay, as are most of them.
High glycemic index. All corn products have a high glycemic
index and this can cause the blood sugar level to fluctuate more than some
other foods if one eats this product.
Yeast and
cancer. If there is a
lot of yeast or cancer in the body, one wil have
difficulty tolerating blue corn chips.
In this case, just eat fewer of them.
This problem
disappears as oneÕs health improves on a complete development program.
Allergy or
intolerance to corn.
Some people cannot tolerate corn products. Here are a few comments on this problem:
- Purple corn is often better
tolerated than white or yellow corn.
- As oneÕs health improves, most
often one will be able to tolerate the purple corn chips.
- Taking a digestive enzyme,
eating just a few purple corn chips at a time, and eating them alone may also
help if food allergies are a problem.
A common
cause for food intolerance is a Òleaky gutÓ. This simply means that the lining of the small intestine is
irritated and too permeable, as a result.
This allows some undigested or partially digested food components and
perhaps toxic chemicals to be absorbed into the blood stream, causing adverse
reactions.
The solution
is to rebuild the small intestine.
This occurs automatically if you follow the development diet correctly.
However, you
need to be fairly strict with it.
One must eat a lot of well-cooked vegetables and mainly the preferred
vegetables. One must also avoid
wheat, most raw food including salads, all fruit and sweets, smoothies, shakes,
food bars, and most food chemicals.
Too many. Some people overdo on blue corn
chips. Please do not do this. Eat a maximum or about 8 to 10 per
meal.
Other chips. Do not eat other chips such as potato chips.
Omega-6
fatty acids. Foods
containing vegetable oils all contain some omega-6 fatty acids. Most people get too
much of these in all their food.
We balance this by giving a supplement of omega-3 fatty acids or by
eating sardines.
AGES. All fried foods contain some advanced glycation
end products or AGES. These are
harmful to the body. Blue corn
chips are cooked very quickly so they do not contain a lot of AGES. For details, read AGES.
For safety
and development, most of the diet must consist of plenty of well-cooked
vegetables with each meal, along with some protein and the rest of the foods
recommended in Food For Daily Use.
OTHER PURPLE CORN PRODUCTS
Dippers and
taco shells. These are basically
the same as the tortilla chips.
Purple corn pozole. Pozole is a
Mexican dish in which one cooks the entire corn kernel until it is a chewy
consistency. They usually eat it
in a soup.
We cannot
recommend purple corn pozole. The reason is that to soften the purple
corn enough requires so much cooking that it damages the vital nutrients in the
corn.
BLUE CORN AND DEVELOPMENT
We highly
recommend blue or purple corn tortilla chips because
they contains a number of chemical compounds needed for Development. Some are selenium and gold compounds, and there are others,
we are told by our development team.
STORING BLUE CORN
Purple or
blue corn kernels should be stored in a cool, dry location. Store purple corn chips in a cool
place. Inside the refrigerator is
very good.
HOW IMPORTANT IS A TRACE OF LIME IN PURPLE
CORN CHIPS?
Some brands
of purple corn products state on the label that the corn is prepared using a
trace of lime. This is an ancient
way of loosening the hull of the corn, and may enhance the product in other
ways.
While
soaking in lime may enhance the overall nutrition of corn, it does not increase
the amount of the chemicals needed for development, so we donÕt require or
recommend it.
