Purplesful Snacking, the proudly Canadian snack brand, recently launched popcorn rich in antioxidants made from organic and whole-grain purple kernel corn. Available in two flavors -- Sea Salt and Plant-Baed Cheddar -- the snack is organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, and plant-based. As its name implies, this brand is about purpose over profit, which means that parents can feel good supporting a brand that donates 25% of profits to education, health, and nutrition programs for low-income kids.
Popcorn has traditionally been made using yellow corn, but ancient grain purple kernel corn offers premium popcorn that’s tastier, creamier, fluffier and healthier. Ancient grain, non-GMO purple corn, has been grown in the Andes for centuries. It’s partially considered a powerful superfood due to the abundance of anthocyanins, a class of Polyphenols that act as antioxidants in the human body.
