Dos Luces Chicha Morada
Gluten-free craft soda made with Peruvian Purple Corn, an antioxidant rich superfood
Chicha Morada (Purple Chicha) has been enjoyed in Peru for thousands of years. Light and sweet, it is brewed from Purple Corn that is naturally rich in antioxidants, sweetened with a touch of Panela to add depth, fruited with Peruvian lime juice for some citrus acidity, and spiced with cinnamon and clove to create a balanced and complex flavor. At Dos Luces, we honor the rich history and traditions of Chicha, and explore the vast possibilities that this iconic American ingredient holds. Open a bottle, relax, and enjoy this healthy and tasty bebida.
Dos Luces brings Chicha Morada from the Andes to the Rockies, brewing our Chicha Morada with whole Purple Corn kernels for rich flavor and deep purple color.
The health benefits of Purple Corn are becoming increasingly well known, with multiple National Institute of Health studies delving into “the potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, anticarcinogenic, and anti-angiogenesis properties.” Purple Corn phenolic compounds “were also found to ameliorate lifestyle diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases, based on their strong antioxidant power involving biochemical regulation amelioration.” 1 It has also been studied as a pain reliever 2, as well as helping prevent and slow certain types of cancer 3 and relieve stress 4. It is even being looked at as an additive for fatty foods such a mayonnaise to help make them less unhealthy 5. Top that with the rich and decadent flavor that is unmistakably Chicha Morada. All of this with only 94 calories per bottle (11.2oz).
