CORN/MAIZE – Blue Hopi

(15 seeds)

$3.55

Rated 4.33 out of 5 based on 3 customer ratings

Historic black to blue corn variety

There's nothing new about blue corn. In fact, it is among the earliest variants of corn to be used as a dietary staple. This variety is named after the Hopi tribe who used it extensively. The corn becomes very hard unless it is harvested young, so time your harvest carefuly if you want to eat it fresh off the cob. Flour made from Blue Hopi corn has a nutty taste unbeatable for authentic tortillas or dry the ears for use as ornaments.

How to Sow

Although you can skip this step, your seeds will come up much faster if you soak them overnight before sowing. Plant them directly in the place they’re to grow, spacing them 20 cm apart.

How to Harvest

When the silky ends of the ears have turned dark-brown and dry, check how your kernels are developing. Cut the corn or pull downwards, twist and pull towards you. Dry your corn ears in a well ventilated, dry place. Harvest early as a sweet corn.

First batch didn’t yield anything, suspecting they weren’t happy with the soil. Second batch growing now, seem to be a little smaller compared to Anasazi seedlings. Hope to get a good yield with the second try.
