NutraMaize is an Indiana based AgBioScience company commercializing a more nutritious, better tasting, variety of non-GMO corn. NutraMaize's proprietary corn variety possesses a deep orange color, which is produced by its high carotenoid content. Carotenoids are a family of nutrients with a number of critical functions in the human body including serving as anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and providing pro-vitamin A. NutraMaize is launching a line of milled products (Grits, Polenta, Corn Meal) that will be sold to foodservice and consumers under the brand “Professor Torbert’s Orange Corn” which pays homage to its Co-Founder, Dr. Torbert Rocheford who developed NutraMaize's orange corn variety at Purdue University as part of an ongoing humanitarian effort to relieve global vitamin A deficiencies.
