DESCRIPTIONS

Double Red Sweet Corn boasts deeply rich burgundy-wine red kernels with dark-red-to-purple husks and stalks! This versatile variety bred by Dr. Alan Kapuler is very high in anthocyanins, which are antioxidants found in purple-colored superfoods with incredible nutritional benefits. Double Red grows 5-7-foot stalks with 7-8-inch ears that start out white with red dots and darken over time. Double Red ears can be eaten fresh or dried on the cob for use as ornamental corn for grinding into a uniquely purple-colored meal for cornbread, tortillas, and hominy. With its unique and rich coloration, Double Red Corn is the perfect addition to fall decorations, adding a touch of elegance and warmth to your outdoor spaces. Corn is one of the plants grown in the traditional Native American vegetable technique called the Three Sisters. The other two plants in the Three Sisters are beans and squash, and each has its role in the companion planting tradition. Corn serves as a support for the vining beans. Squash served as a ground cover, preventing weeds from growing. Beans provided natural fertilizer for all.
