This is Flint / flour landrace corn that I have been developing growing in my urban backyard (15 generations). I usually grow multicolor but my kid wanted me to do a patch of pink this year. So picked out the pink seeds. It’s great for cornmeal or cooked with lime to make hominy grits, pozole, or flour for tortillas.. most fun thing to grow ever - native bees love the pollen and each cob is a Christmas present to open.

I grow TX landrace flint/flour corn. My kid asked me to grow pink this year. It’s so fun. This is maize for hominy, grits, pozole, tortillas, cornmeal. I understand why native peoples incorporated maize into their religion- No other food ( especially grain) is so stunning and in such variety. Who knows why colonists stuck with yellow and white. So boring..
