Heirloom Flint Corn/Flour Corn - Red or Blue
Heirloom Flint Corn / Flour Corn
Ecologically grown on our small-scale farm
7 oz bag
We have a small selection of two kinds of flint corn/ flour corn to choose from. This heirloom corn is very special and the colours are absolutely beautiful!
Traditionally this type of corn is used for making corn flour for baking (e.g. cornbread, muffins, corn pudding), or masa for tortillas, tamales etc. Simple instructions are provided for how to soak, cook, and nixtamalize the corn, making it more digestable and the nutrients more available. Also included is a recipe for making delicious tortillas. 7 oz corn makes aprox 20 corn tortillas.
After cooking the corn can be dried for storage, or processed in a grain mill, blender or food processor. Note that flour corn is a bit easier to grind than flint corn.
