Description

Our carefully‑picked black corn seeds are classic open‑pollinated heirloom maize variety. All broken, shrivelled kernels and impurities are manually screened‑out to keep steady high‑germination rate.

The mature corn ears carry glossy deep‑black kernels loaded with natural anthocyanin antioxidants. Young tender ears can be steamed or boiled for tasty fresh food. Fully dried mature grains can be ground into healthy black corn flour, made into popcorn or used as rustic autumn decorations.

The tough warm‑season crop grows well in backyard gardens, raised planting beds, small family farms and landscape plots. Since it is non‑hybrid open‑pollinated seed, properly isolated harvested grains can be preserved for the next planting season.
