When it comes to corn chips, I am game for any color - yellow, white, or blue. Now, I have a valid reason togo blue. New research indicates that blue corn is more nutritious than its white counterpart.
Researchers from south of the Rio Grande have found blue corn to contain 20 percent more protein than white corn. Not only that, but blue corn also contains less starch and a lower glycemic index, meaning the sugar content of blue corn is absorbed by the body more slowly and provides a steady source of energy, with less chance of creating a blood sugar spike.
I often say, eat for color and now I know this approach to food applies to tortillas and chips as well.
This if from the website www.fitsugar.com and they have some great reading material on health if your interested!
