Lovely colors. Is this the same as flint corn? I've only grown sweet corn.
When it gets to be winter, and some homesteaders live too far away from the store, or can't through the snow, this seems like a good type of crop to have grown so there is always something available to cook up in the pantry.

I agree, it does take up a lot of space. So does potatoes, if you want a big harvest. That's why I was growing them at the community garden, extra growing space. :-)
I don't cook it whole, although you can do that by boiling it until it gets soft.
I grind the corn and use it for flour and grits. You can make a lot of different things with corn flour.

I'm not sure if this is considered a flint corn or not. I know it's not a dent corn because the kernels don't get the little dent in them as they dry.

Mighty handy tool it looks like... I've always love Painted Mountain, so pretty, but have never grown it as corn takes so much garden space.

What are your tips for cooking with dried corn?
I don't think that I have ever made any.

Awesome.
I use a lot of corn flower in the spring/summer. We love having cast iron corn bread with bbq ribs and brisket.
I'm looking forward to following your account.

Thank you! :-)
