Oaxacan Green Corn - Heirloom 50 seeds

Oaxacan Green Dent corn (Zea mays) is a striking heirloom dent corn variety known for its vibrant emerald-to-teal green kernels, which often feature subtle shades of yellow, blue, or purple. It’s a field/flour corn (not sweet corn), prized for both culinary uses and as an ornamental plant.

Plant height: Typically 6–10 feet (shorter in some regions, taller in others).
• Ear size: 6–10 inches long, with densely packed, dented kernels (the “dent” forms as kernels dry and shrink at the crown).
• Kernel appearance: Shiny, pearlescent greens with occasional multicolored flecks — truly unique among corn varieties.

• Ground into distinctive green cornmeal or masa (after nixtamalization) for tortillas, tamales, cornbread, grits, or hominy.
• Popular among distilleries for making moonshine or bourbon due to its flavor profile.
• Excellent as fall decorations — the dried ears are stunning.
• Also suitable for animal feed.
