Short, fast-maturing plants are meant to produce a crop of staple grain almost anywhere, in spite of difficult conditions--as a survival food or as simply the very best-tasting cornbread around. Carol Deppe bred this to be her own staple food in the Pacific Northwest's difficult summers. She is celiac and cannot eat any form of gluten, so this is her daily bread, literally. One of the fun things about it is that seed from any one color will still produce multicolored harvest. Each cob, however, is a single color. Beautiful deep-gold cornmeal with red flecks. Not as high-yielding as later, taller corns, but absolutely dependable. Can be harvested before the fall rains. 60 seeds
