Purple corn contains anthocyanins as its main secondary metabolite, which belong to the group of polyphenolic flavonoids, responsible for many biological activities, mainly high antioxidant activity. The aim is to identify purple corns with good grain production and anthocyanin content in the cob and bracts that generate more income for producers from the Cajamarca region in Peru, using three cultivars in four localities in the Cajamarca region of Peru. The results show that the best production environment was Chala, where the highest grain production was recorded, it was in the cultivars INIA-601 (4.38 t ha-1) and MM (3.75 t ha-1). The same cultivars had the highest concentrations of anthocyanins in both the cob and bracts, with values of 7.9 and 4.53 mg g-1 for INIA-601 and 7.2 and 2.1 mg g-1 for MM, respectively, which suggest them as potential varieties due to the high yield and content of anthocyanins.
