Blue cornmeal is used in traditional Native American cooking and prized for its nutty flavor and hearty texture.This beautiful purple-hued variety from Cortez Milling Co. in Southwest Colorado keeps it’s amazing deep lavender color, even when cooked. And while most other blue cornmeal tends to cook up gray and have a bitter, harsh or musky flavor, this Navajo Maize Blue Cornmeal’s flavor was sweet and earthy with an intense corn essence. Perfect for tortillas, chips, muffins, cornbread and Navajo mush, a breakfast made of roasted blue corn, juniper ash and water—similar to Cream of Wheat but much more flavorful.
