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. Matures in roughly 95 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(17, 95, 32);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 97%. Test Date: 12\/25.
