DESCRIPTION
This is an absolutely beautiful dark dark purple corn. Also known as Kculli, this ancient type of corn is particularly known in Peru and parts of South America and one of the oldest corn in the world, and a staple food of many societies since prehistoric times. Purple Corn bears well-sized ears with large kernels that ripen to a deep purple-black color.
People of the Andes make a refreshing drink sweetened with fruit, sugar or honey from the purple corn called "chicha morada" which is now recognized as a nutritive powerhouse due to its phenolic and anthocyanins content. The Anthocyanins are a type of complex flavonoid that produce the blue, purple or red colors of the corn. Phenolics are known to have many bioactive and functional properties. Purple Corn has higher C3G antioxidant capacity and antiradical kinetics than blueberries.
Also highly desirable for corn meal and corn pudding as well as a natural fabric and hair dye and cosmetics.
Start indoors as this corn requires a long growing season 100-120 days
Planting Zones: Choclo Morado Corn, like many corn varieties, can be grown in a range of USDA Hardiness Zones. It typically thrives in Zones 4-10. However, you can successfully grow it in slightly different zones by adjusting your planting schedule.
Planting Time:
-
Indoors: If you're in a cooler zone (e.g., Zones 4-6), you can start the seeds indoors, 2-4 weeks before the last expected frost date. Transplant the seedlings when they are about 3-4 inches tall and all danger of frost has passed.
-
Outdoors: In warmer zones (e.g., Zones 7-10), you can sow the seeds directly into the garden soil after the last frost date in the spring.
Planting Tips:
-
Soil Temperature: Wait until the soil temperature reaches at least 50°F (10°C) for successful germination.
-
Spacing: Plant your seeds 12-18 inches apart in rows that are about 30-36 inches apart.
-
Sunlight: Ensure your corn receives full sun, which means at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Corn plants require regular watering to produce healthy, juicy kernels.
-
Harvest: Typically, Choclo Morado Corn can be harvested around 75-85 days after planting when the kernels are plump and juicy. The exact timing may vary based on local growing conditions.
