Frequently asked questions

  • What is purple corn?

    Purple corn is a deep purple variety of maize. In Peru it is used for chicha morada and mazamorra morada; in China, purple glutinous corn is eaten as a chewy, mildly sweet cob.

  • How do I cook purple glutinous corn?

    Steam or boil the cobs for about 15 to 25 minutes until tender, or follow the package directions. Frozen cobs can be cooked from frozen.

  • What is the difference between purple corn and purple sweet corn?

    Purple maize and glutinous corn are starchier and chewier than sweet corn. Check the product name and description, since cobs sold for eating and maize sold for drinks are not interchangeable.

  • Where can I buy purple corn near me?

    Weee! delivers Asian and Hispanic groceries to your door in many U.S. areas; enter your ZIP code at weee.com to see availability and delivery options. Options include Purple Glutinous Corn, Glutinous Black Pearl Sweet-Waxy Corn and Xishuangbanna Purple Maize.

  • What does purple corn taste like?

    Purple glutinous corn tastes mildly sweet and chewy with a sticky texture. Andean purple maize is more earthy and fruity when simmered for drinks.

  • What is chicha morada?

    Chicha morada is a Peruvian drink made by simmering dried purple maize with pineapple peel, cinnamon and cloves, then sweetening it and adding lime juice.

  • Does purple corn keep its color when cooked?

    The purple pigment can fade or bleed into the cooking water, which is why chicha morada gets its color from simmering. Cooked cobs may look slightly lighter.
