Description

This soft flour starch corn is ideal for blue cornbread or tortillas. It has the same type of soft starch as Painted Mountain corn, famous for cornbread, and which won first place in a publicized masa and tortilla making trial.  Nutrient dense. It has high antioxidant levels because of the predominantly dark blue kernels, and also a significant amount of blue germs, a very rare trait.

This quick growing Native corn endures early cold soil planting as well as
blasts of summer heat.

It is a Native heirloom composite selected for over 30 years.  It’s ancestry is 50% from the famously stress-resistant Painted Mountain Corn, and the other 50% is from four ancient concho corns from 8,000′ elevation in the Rocky Mountains of the SW desert region.

These are the survivors of years of drought in dry land northern Montana, adapted to the escalating climate change. Dave is trying to give the world several different genetic populations of stress hardy corn so people can see which lineage does best where they live  as the planet heats up.  Dave’s company is Seed We Need®
