Purple Corn Extract 30:1 – Ancestral Nourishment from the Andes
Purple corn, or maíz morado, is an ancient crop native to the low Andean valleys of Peru, thriving in both coastal regions and high-altitude areas up to 10,000 feet. For thousands of years, it has been a vital part of daily life and ritual across the Andes.
Traditionally, purple corn has been soaked to make chicha morada — a beloved and refreshing drink made with fruit and spices, still widely enjoyed in Peru today. It’s more than just a food source; it’s a plant that carries cultural reverence, deeply woven into the spiritual and agricultural practices of the region. This drink has deep cultural roots, and while chicha morada is typically non-fermented, its fermented counterpart, chicha de jora, held a powerful role in ceremonial practice.
The Incas believed that consuming chicha de jora facilitated communication with mountain deities (apus), gods, and ancestors. It played a central role in religious events, including rituals to honour both divine forces and ancestral spirits — a sacred act of connection, reverence, and remembrance.
Among many indigenous peoples, particularly throughout Mesoamerica and the Andes, maize is a sacred plant — honoured in myths of origin, seasonal ceremonies, and daily offerings. While different colours of corn carry distinct symbolic meanings, purple corn is especially prized for its rich colour, strength, and vibrancy. Purple corn is often associated with the energy of the heavens and the concept of “above” in traditional teachings.
This is not purple corn flour (which is simply dried and ground kernels). This is a 30:1 extract, meaning 30 parts of the whole corn are concentrated into 1 — resulting in a deeply potent powder that is particularly rich in anthocyanins, the antioxidants that give purple corn its vivid colour.
Why it’s special:
- True 30:1 extract – far more concentrated than standard ground corn powders
- Naturally rich in anthocyanins – known for their antioxidant and cellular protective properties
- A staple of Andean tradition with continued ceremonial and cultural use
- Honoured for its flavour, potency, and deep ancestral roots
This is a plant of presence — treasured for its richness in both nutrients and ancestral wisdom.

Curious
"I’ve been curious about trying purple corn for a long time, having heard about its health benefits. I’ve been adding it to smoothies and various bakes. I cannot say I have noticed any results but to be honest I didn’t expect to see any immediate effects anyway. My only advice is to be careful with the amount you add to your food – it is very concentrated and you only need a small amount."
5*

Amazing

Divine in Cacao
"I bought this wondering how it would be mixed with cacao - I liked the idea of the bean and the corn together and the potential alchemy of heart and third eye magic. And magic it is! The corn provides a sweetness to the cacao, as well as a wonderful texture. The combination of the two is sublime - even my husband noticed it! We have taken to having it as a love elixir, and it's very affective ;-)"
