Farmers in the U.S. grow four types of corn, with more than 200 varieties. Not all edible corn is yellow. White and yellow corn are similar in taste and the most popular in the U.S. The Hopi nation originally bred a rare pink variety. Black, red, blue, and purple corn are rich in anthocyanins, which can help prevent cancer, reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and shield the human brain from the adverse effects of aging.
