Blue corn or maize (Zea mays L.) is an open pollinated flour corn and contains soft starch useful in the milling of specialty foods. Currently, these foods include tortillas, pancake mixes, cornbread mixes, corn chips, and cereal. Studies at Colorado State University indicate that the protein content of commercial blue corn is consistantly 30% higher than dent corns in adjacent fields.
Blue corn is also higher in lysine than dent corn. "Lysine is an essential amino acid necessary for building protein in our bodies," Dickerson said. "Most blue corns also tend to be higher in zinc and iron than dent corn."
