Black Waxy Corn Cut
Black glutinous maize is a special type of maize, whose kernel cuticle deposits melanin to varying degrees, giving it a dark and shiny appearance. The kernels are rich in water-soluble melanin and various essential trace elements, plant protein and various amino acids, with a significantly higher nutritional content than other cereal crops.
The origin of black glutinous maize: coloured glutinous maize is generally white, yellow, red, purple and black, with white, yellow and purple maize being the basic colours. The purple gene of a purple-white cross naturally becomes purple if it "beats" the white gene, and vice versa, so if the two make a tie, we see white and purple maize. Purple can turn into red and black maize, or as we often say, "red is purple and black is purple".
