2. Purple Corn Extract Concentrate
Making a concentrated extract from purple corn optimizes its medicinal value and offers a practical approach to get its advantages. Start by fine powdering dried purple corn kernels either by crushing or grinding. In a dark glass container, whisk one cup of the powder with two cups of pure grain alcohol or high-proof vodka. Tightly seal, then store in a cool, dark environment for four to six weeks; shake the mixture gently every few days. Strata the liquid through a fine-mesh cloth or coffee filter following the steeping phase. Dark bottles with dropper caps will let you easily dispense the resultant concentrate. Particularly strong in anthocyanins, this extract can be used sparingly (10–15 drops) along with water or juice. The concentrate supports general health and acts as a strong antioxidant boost, helping to guard against cellular damage.
