Overview

Yellow maize, also known as yellow corn, is a type of field corn characterized by its bright yellow kernels. It's a versatile grain, widely used for both human consumption and animal feed. Nutritionally, it's a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and certain vitamins and minerals.

Product Description

Yellow corn is a significant resource of Vitamin A. As corn kernels mutated from white to yellow, they acquired chemicals called cartenoids. Of these cartenoids is beta carotene, which produces Vitamin A. Very little attention has been emphasized on yellow corn's significant beta carotene levels until the early 21st Century. Yellow corn, easy to grow in developing regions of Africa and Latin America, where corn is heavily relied upon as a food source, could actually keep millions of children from going blind. Yellow corn is now being bred to have at least 10 times higher the amount of beta carotene than average sweet corn varieties.
