{"product_id":"corn-seeds-chapalote","title":"Corn Seeds, Chapalote","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eZea mays\u003c\/em\u003e). Carbon dating suggests this flint\/popcorn may be among the oldest corn varieties grown in North America—possibly 4,000 years old—an age that still feels hard to grasp when you hold the seed. The long, slim ears fill with kernels ranging from luminous amber to dark brown, and the plant is notably drought and heat tolerant, adapted to southerly latitudes; its performance farther north remains unknown. Chapalote can be popped, or ground and used in pinole, polenta, and many other corn dishes, where the meal shows a delightful sweetness. Rediscovered in the 1950s in remote northwestern Mexico, its superior qualities have since captured the imagination and affection of archaeologists, gardeners, and chefs alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511055778078,"sku":"CN168","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/corn_chapalote.jpg?v=1782395132","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/products\/corn-seeds-chapalote","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
