 you should bite the blue corn.
it’s the very best corn. 
twice the protein, twice the flavor.
plus, you can post photos of your growing blue corn, and appear mysterious and knowledgeable about esoteric foods. 
you can also hang it in your house to dry for winter impressing visitors, while boasting of your 1/1024 Cherokee lineage like Elizabeth Warren. 
 how do you explain the blue corn chips taste a bit less tasty than the yellow + white corn ones 
 The fresh to dried conversion is opposite. Blue and purple corn, have much more flavor fresh, but become much more bland when dried. Not sure why. More sugars in the yellow and white? Dunno. But dried blue tortillas taste like cardboard 
 as someone who mostly eats corn in chip form, I’ll probably be sticking to the yellow ones 😂
