About Martian Jewels
80–90 days fresh. Stunning deep burgundy husks, stalks, and cobs with pearl white kernels. Harvest early to enjoy the complex, mildly sweet corn. Once starches start to settle, add to chowders, puddings. At season’s end use dried kernels as flour in breads, tortillas, and tamales. Open-pollinated, antioxidant-rich cross of Native American Hopi blue corn and sweeter varieties by the founder of Peace Seeds, Alan Kapuler.
