Giant Cuzco Inca White Giant Corn from Peru
An ancient giant corn that fueled the Inca Empire
Vegetable Seeds: About 25 seeds depending on size. One full ounce.Sold by weight.Genuine viable Cuzco corn. Rare and hard to find. Often what is sold as Giant Inca is really white Hickory King instead. Even on .
Needs wind protection and 8-9 months growing season with no frost. Start indoors to help. My test garden grew plants up to 15 feet tall and took over six months to make tassels. Some stalks did not make ears at all. But all made row after row of air roots. One plant had 11 rows of large air roots.
Giant one inch kernels can sit upon huge two foot long ears anchored upon towering 25-foot stalks. The king of all corns, larger even than Hickory King. This heirloom corn was a staple among the Incas and is still a favorite south of the border. Some kernels are as big as a quarter! About 25 seeds per ounce. You can often find it baked and salted in grocery stores.
Giant white corn is perfect for posole, hominy and masa harina. This corn can also be baked or slaked, broiled or boiled, fried or dried, used in soup du jour, or tossed with rice and spice. Young fresh ears may be boiled and eaten like a sweet corn (mildly sweet). A truly versatile food that powered the Inca Empire for many centuries.
Plant corn in spring in blocks, not rows. No frost. Standard corn protocols.
A great, non-GMO corn for fresh garden picking or to dry for grinding into cornmeal. Mildly sweet.
Corn, or maize, wouldn’t exist as we know it if not forancient humanswho developed it from fields of ancient grain. Corn as we know it was developed by humans over centuries from a grass called teosinte. (Most people think of corn as a vegetable, but it’s really a grain). Scientists believe that corn was developed by the native peoples living in central Mexico over 7,000 years ago. The natives throughout North and South America eventually depended on maize for most of their diet. Corn spread throughout the Americas and was discovered by explorers from Europe who had never seen corn. There arenumerous varieties of corn nowadays.
