Corn may not strike you as being the most colourful of crops, but traditional varieties like the red-kernelled Red Aztec, a native of Mexico, may make you think again! This heirloom variety is quite hard to find, so snap it up and enjoy eating like Aztec royalty! As with all heirloom corn varieties, it was primarily used to make cornflour, but it can be eaten off the cob if harvested young.

  • Growing Information

    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. Best suited for maize production.
