{"product_id":"corn-hopi-turquoise","title":"Corn Seeds, Hopi Turquoise","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eZea mays\u003c\/em\u003e) Flour\/Dent Corn. This is one of the most visually striking corns in the whole patch, with ears glowing in shades of slate blue, bright turquoise, and occasional violet-purple. Said to originate with the Hopi people of the Southwest, it carries a long relationship with dryland growing and traditional foodways. The kernels are a mix of flour and dent types, often found on the same ear, and have long been used for atole and for grinding into cornmeal. It matures fairly early, in about 90 days, and has shown a remarkable ability to handle cool soils, high elevations, and wide swings in temperature. Our grower received the original seed in 1986 from John “Eesawu” Kimmey, founder of the Talavaya Center, whose work in sustainable Native agriculture and heirloom seed conservation helped keep important food traditions in motion. It’s a beautiful, nourishing corn with a real sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59510993027358,"sku":"CN172","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/corn_hopi_turquoise_lss_000_2564_850x850_0d13ee45-38a2-48bf-ac09-a8bda160320c.jpg?v=1782393371","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/products\/corn-hopi-turquoise","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
