Blue Hopi corn, also known as Hopi maize, is a distinctive variety of flint corn recognized for its vibrant blue color, which comes from anthocyanins. This corn is not just a staple food but holds significant cultural and ceremonial value for the Hopi people. It's used in various traditional dishes, like tortillas and tamales, and its meal has a sweet flavor. Blue corn is also noted for its health benefits, including higher protein content and easier digestibility compared to white or yellow corn.


The history of Blue Hopi corn is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Hopi tribe, who have cultivated it for over 2,000 years in the arid lands of the Southwestern United States. According to Hopi mythology, corn was a gift from the Guardian Spirit, Màasaw, symbolizing its integral role in their culture. This corn variety was adapted over centuries to thrive in dry conditions, reflecting the Hopi's agricultural ingenuity. Its cultivation not only sustained the tribe physically but also spiritually, with corn being central to their ceremonies and life cycle.
