Corn Dent Oaxacan is an authentic heirloom variety originating from Southern Mexico, celebrated for its striking emerald green kernels that yield distinctive, vibrantly colored cornmeal with complex flavor profiles unavailable from conventional yellow or white corn. This heritage cultivar represents generations of traditional selection, preserving genetic diversity while delivering exceptional culinary and aesthetic qualities. Plants reach approximately 7 feet in height, producing robust ears ranging from 6 to 10 inches in length with well-developed dent characteristics ideal for grinding. The soft-flour starch mills beautifully into specialty cornmeal prized by artisanal bakers, traditional cooks, and culinary professionals seeking authentic regional flavors for Mexican cuisine, polenta, and specialty grain applications. Beyond the kitchen, the distinctive emerald ears provide striking visual interest for fall displays and ornamental garden arrangements. Maturing in roughly 95 days, Oaxacan adapts well to diverse growing conditions and shorter seasons, making it accessible to gardeners across multiple climate zones. These certified organic, non-GMO seeds germinate at 80% or higher, ensuring reliable establishment and consistent performance. As an open-pollinated heirloom, this variety allows seed saving for perpetual cultivation, building self-sufficiency while preserving this important genetic resource. Packaged in sustainable, climate-conscious materials that are fully reusable and recyclable, Oaxacan Corn aligns with the values of heritage gardeners and environmentally conscious growers committed to preserving traditional varieties and responsible stewardship.
