Purple corn is more than just a vibrant ingredient; it’s a piece of history that dates back to ancient civilizations in the Andes, particularly in Peru. For thousands of years, purple corn has been cultivated with care and reverence, symbolizing fertility, life, and abundance. At Margarita’s Tortilla Factory ®, we honor this rich tradition by bringing you our Purple Corn Tortillas—a product that embodies both cultural heritage and modern health benefits.
A Journey Through Time: The Origins of Purple Corn
Purple corn’s story begins in the highlands of the Andes, where local farmers cultivated maize varieties perfectly adapted to their environment. This selective cultivation led to the development of the distinctive purple corn, a crop that has been a staple in Andean civilizations for over 5,000 years. From the early days of the Incas to modern times, purple corn has been revered for its unique color and profound nutritional benefits.
