Description

Our carefully‑screened purple corn seeds belong to the popular open‑pollinated heirloom maize variety. All damaged, shrivelled kernels and impurities are manually screened‑out to ensure stable high‑germination rate.

The ripe corn ears are covered with rich dark‑purple kernels full of natural anthocyanin. Tender young ears can be boiled or steamed for fresh eating. Fully mature dried kernels can be ground into healthy purple corn flour, processed into drinks or used as beautiful autumn‑harvest ornaments. The hardy crop adapts well to backyard gardens, raised beds, small family farms and landscape plots. As an open‑pollinated non‑hybrid strain, well‑isolated harvested seeds can be reserved for the next growing season.
