Corn, Soltera Morado, Sweet (80-90 days) - Zea Mays  ORGANIC We received this gem from entomologist Munk Begin, who has been working for many years to improve a deep purple red, high anthocyanin sweet corn. Soltera Morado translates to "single purple". This is the result from crossing various red cob and white cob flour and sweet corn lines to develop a red sweet corn he calls "Blood Brothers". Then in 2002, he crossed Blood Brothers (male) with Martian Red, a sweet corn with purple cobs. Nearly every part of the plant contains streaks of deep purple red- the leaves, silks, tassels, stalks, cobs, husks, and pollen. Bergin says that it has at least 4 times and perhaps as much as 20 times the anthocyanins as blueberries. The ears are 6-8" long with deep dark blood red kernels. This is a wonderful dye plant - see the photo below from natural dye enthusiast, Rachel @think _natural . SSF CO29 - 1/2 oz = $3.95 2 ounces = $9.00 4 ounces = $16.00...

Corn, Triple Play, Sweet (75–85 days)  ORGANIC A nicely stabilized cross of Hooker’s Sweet with the old open pollinated standard Golden Bantam that results in a very pretty bicolor sweet corn with greater ear size than Hooker’s.  With plenty of tillers that can result in 4-5 ears per plant, it tends to shine under hill or clump culture rather than traditional rows. Harvest at milk stage just as some blue is beginning to show in the kernels. Delicious, rich, full flavor with large meaty kernels that burst with real corn flavor, which is sadly lacking in modern super sweets.  Developed by John Sundquist. SSF * Harvest when the kernels produce a milky white fluid, if it’s clear it’s too early, and if there is no fluid, it’s too late and they’ll be starchy (however good for roasting still).
