Discover the unique taste and rich heritage of Hopi Blue Corn, a precious Native American heirloom. This ancient blue variety of Zea Mays is more than just a plant; it’s a symbol of life for the Hopi people. The corn's life cycle even shapes the rhythm of their culture, beginning with a planting ceremony each spring. Grown for its superior flavor and nutritional profile, the corn gets its name from the royal blue-black luster of its kernels, which are ivory-colored at first, but transform into their stunning blue hue when dried. Hopi Blue Corn is a rigorously selected and robust cultivar, well-adapted to harsh climates, thanks to its deep taproots that make it extremely drought-tolerant. This variety can be enjoyed as sweet corn when young and roasted, and once dried and ground, it yields a delicious blue corn flour with a protein content 30% higher than dent corns. Experience the delightful flavor and texture of cornmeal porridge or corn bread made with home-grown Hopi Blue. With the maison standing 5-6 feet tall (or taller!) and yielding silvery blue ears that are 8-10” long, this corn variant at the same time can adorn your garden or serve as a beautiful autumn decoration. Unlock the taste of tradition with Hopi Blue Corn.
