This variable and diverse form of corn contrasts with the all-too-uniform modern hybrids by giving you a packet full of surprises. Although you might have thought corn should be white or yellow, nature intended it to be far more colourful. Multi-coloured Aztec corn, an ancestor of one of the world's most important food crops takes you back to its roots. It's drought-tolerant, produces delicious cornflour, and offers a rainbow of coloured kernels.
