Description

Our carefully‑screened black corn seeds belong to classic open‑pollinated heirloom maize. All broken, shrivelled kernels and sundry impurities are manually removed to secure reliable high‑germination‑rate.

This special‑type corn bears glossy jet‑black deep‑purple plump kernels packed with abundant anthocyanin antioxidants. Young immature ears can be boiled for fresh sweet‑tasting food. Fully‑ripened dried kernels can be milled into nutritious black corn flour, made into popcorn or used as eye‑catching autumn‑season home decorations. The sturdy crop adapts well to backyard gardens, raised planting beds, small‑scale family farms and landscape plots. As non‑hybrid open‑pollinated seeds, qualified harvested kernels can be saved for planting in the next growing‑season.
