Corn- Zea Mays

Multi coloured aztec This plant grows to 2.5m high and produces a beautiful cob specled with white, red, blue and yellow kernels. This corn can also be eaten if harvested in its immature stage. Cobs make excellent dried ornaments. Dried seeds are usually ground to make a cornmeal for breads/ corn chips.

Since 1989, Drylands Permaculture Nursery in WA have sourced and acclimatised heirloom seed varieties to suit our semi-arid climate, and our prefernce for tasty nutritious food.

These seeds are grown in chemical-free food gardens and rarely found on supermarket shelves. They are all open pollinated.
