MyRoots紫粟米粉榮獲美國農業部有機認證(100%)、歐盟有機農業認證、NSF HACCP、清真食品認證

紫粟米是一種高纖、含有豐富維他命（B5、B9）及礦物質（鋅、銅、錳、鎂、鉀等）的植物，在秘魯種植已有幾千年歷史。 安第斯山脈居民慣常用紫粟米籽加在食物及飲料來著色及改善新陳代謝。

紫粟米籽最重要的營養價值是含有豐富的抗氧化物。根據美國俄亥俄州大學食物科學系副教授Monica Giusti的研究，紫粟米的花青素含量堪稱皇者，對人體細胞健康有極大幫助。

功效：

1.     強勁抗氧化物

紫粟米中的抗氧化物花青素（C3G），其抗氧化物含量比野生藍莓高2.94倍； 高巴西莓5.13倍； 高血橙8.21倍； 高紫薯10.39倍。

2.     抗衰老良品

其豐富的抗氧化物能對抗破壞細胞健康的游離基，幫助抗衰老。此外C3G更被測試證實比維他命E至少多40倍效能防止紫外光對人體的破壞。 因為維他命E在紫外光下會急速分解，所以維他命E是效弱的中波紫外光B（UVB）誘導脂質氧化抑制劑。而紫粟米中的抗氧化物C3G不會被分解，所以對抗衰老更強效。

3.     有防止肥胖潛在功效

紫粟米不單只因為高纖，其含的C3G亦可能可以控制肥胖。 有日本研究顯示，在兩組同樣體重的雄性老鼠，分別餵飼高脂肪的膳食及高脂肪的膳食中再加入紫粟米一同進食（大約有0.2% C3G），12周後，受餵飼只有高脂肪膳食的老鼠，脂肪組織體積有增長。而另一組別有進食紫粟米的老鼠脂肪組織則沒有增加。

 4.     可能改善眼睛健康

玉米黃素主要存在於視網膜黃斑部份，其他部份則以葉黃素為主。紫粟米中的葉黃素及玉米黃素對眼睛健康非常重要。

5.     適合關注心臟健康人士

紫粟米的防炎及抗氧化物質適合關注血脂/膽固醇人士。

6.     改善身體循環

抗氧化物能穩定及保護全身易受損的毛細血管，從而改善身體循環。

7.     適合關注血糖人士

豐富的抗氧化物適合關注血糖人士

8.     肝臟健康

過量的氧化游離基會造成肝臟氧化損害。紫粟米提供的C3G花青素能有效幫助肝臟健康。

MyRoots Purple Corn Powder is USDA Organic (100%), EU Organic, NSF HACCP, HALAL Certified

Purple corn is a high-fiber food that has been grown in Peru for thousands of years.  Its kernels have long been used by Andean people to color foods and beverages and improve circulation.  It has a ton of vitamins (B5, B9) & minerals (zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium &potassium).

The most important value of the kernels is that they are very rich in antioxidants. According to a study by Monica Giusti, an assistant professor of food science at Ohio State University USA, purple corn has been proved to be the winner in anthocyanin content among most plant based foods and with most benefits to human cells. 

Benefits:

1.     Powerful Antioxidant

The most abundant anthocyanin found in purple corn is called C3G.  Purple corn has 2.94 times higher anthocyanin content than wild blueberry, also 5.13times > Acai berry; 8.21 times > blood orange; 10.39 times > purple sweet potato. 

2.     Anti-Aging

Its rich antioxidants  kill free radicals that cause cell damage and helps anti-aging.  C3G has tested to be at least 40 times more effective than vitamin E for the prevention of damage caused by UV light.  Vitamin E is a weaker inhibitor of UVB-induced lipid oxidation because it rapidly breaks down under UV light, C3G does not break down, so it is more effective. 

3.     Potential Anti-Obesity

Not only is purple corn is a high-fiber food, but its C3G also helps control obesity.     Researchers in Japan compared the bodyweights of male mice fed a high-fat diet with another group fed the same high-fat diet but with the addition of purple corn (which provided C3G at 0.2%).  After 12 weeks, fatty tissue in the high-fat diet group was found to be growing in size but showed no increase in the group that included purple corn in their diet.

4.     May Improve Eye Health

The Lutein and zeaxanthin found in purple corn are two very important antioxidants that are used almost exclusively by your eyes. This may contribute to the health of the eye.

5.     May help with heart health

The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of purple corn are suitable for people concerned about high blood lipids/cholesterol. 

 6.     Improve circulation

Antioxidants improve blood circulation.

 7.     Blood Sugar Concern

 8.     Liver Health

Excess of oxygen-based free radicals causes liver oxidative injuries. The C3G that purple corn provides shows significant hepatoprotective effects.
