In the Andes highlands of Peru, this ancient corn—known as Maiz Morado, or Kulli—took on a role far beyond everyday grain, prized for its deep color and beloved flavor. It is described as the darkest colored corn known and is believed to carry among the highest amounts of anthocyanins of any corn. For the past 20-plus years, a special selection has been bred in New Mexico to adapt it to North American latitudes, and it will grow and produce ears readily in most American gardens. Picked young, it can be eaten as a flavorful sweet corn, and allowed to mature it serves as an excellent flour corn. In South America it is famously used to brew chicha morada, a highly revered drink with ceremonial importance to the Incan Empire and civilizations before it. Locals also use the corn to dye fabrics and cloth, and grind it into a beautiful flour or meal. The plants grow to eight feet or taller and take about 100 days or so to mature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511017767198,"sku":"CN183","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/corn_maiz_morado_or_kulli.jpg?v=1782393752","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/products\/corn-seeds-maiz-morado-or-kulli","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
