Choclo, also referred to as Peruvian corn or Cuzco corn (after Cuzco, the capital city of the Inca empire), [1] is a large-kernel variety of field corn from the Andes. It is consumed in parts of Central America and South America, especially in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Colombia.

Peruvian corn is unlike any other in the world, boasting over 55 unique varieties that come in all shapes, sizes, and colors—from the giant white choclo to the deep purple maíz morado.
