CORN, RED DENT OG 1 LB

On the central Pacific Coast of Mexico, Michoacán is the birthplace of corn, where its great grandfather teostine grows wild and Monarch butterflies winter over. Right here, together with the indigenous Purépecha people, corn has evolved into its present day form. This is an ancient seed that has evolved without hybridization. It is hand cultivated at 7,000 ft. elevation and all rain fed.

This relative of white corn has good flavor and aroma and when ground makes lovely pink cornbread. Traditionally cooked with chile pasilla to add spark to its color and flavor. It's ruby red kernels are full of antioxidants.

How to Prepare Organic Red Dent Corn:

Red Dent Corn is ideal for grinding into corn meal or corn flour. Simply grind the dry kernels in your favorite recipe. To cook whole: rinse kernels, then soak overnight, keep the antioxidant rich soaking water and use it the next day to simmer for at least 2 hours or pressure cook for 1 hour. May be cooked with brown rice and other grains, or add to soups and stews.
