Magic Manna Flour Corn - Organic

×
seeds
Zea mays
(85 days) Open pollinated. This superior flour corn from the eminent breeder Carol Deppe shares the hardiness, earliness and vigor of Painted Mountain, from which it was derived. Ears, 8" long with 8–12 rows, are solid-colored and can be sorted for use based on kernel color: Pancake White, Parching Red, Parching Starburst and Brown Gravy. The white makes the best breads, cakes, pancakes and other sweet baked goods. The red and starburst are best for parching. The brown and starburst make great gravies and savory cornbreads. You’ll find recipes in Carol’s book The Resilient Gardener. Try them and let us know your favorites! Breeder Royalties. Independent Breeder. OSSI. NEW!
