Colourful Native American Sweet Corn/ Maize - Seed kit

For many Native American Indian tribes, sweet corn or maize was not only sacred but also the main staple food of their diet. In many of their mythological creation accounts we even come across tales which state that mankind were created from maize.
Consequently, we find a hugely diverse range of unusual and beautifully coloured, old heirloom maize varieties in the Americas.

For this seed kit we hand selected 3 unique maize varieties (Zea mais):

• Black Aztec Corn
  Old, Aztec sweet corn variety with almost black grains. Very good taste.
• ’Oaxacan Green’ dent corn maize
  ‘Oaxacan Green’ is an old sweet corn/ maize variety with very unusual appearance – the kernels shimmer in multiple shades of most vibrant greens.
• Native American Indian red maize 'Joro'
  ’Joro’ is an old classic Native American Indian maize variety with luminous dark red kernels.

The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet containing 20 seeds each.
