Corn: Bloody Butcher

A striking variety of corn has grown since the 1800s! Bloody Butcher is probably the deepest red corn you'll find! Each plant grows 2-6 ears and can get as tall as 10-12 feet. Cobs typically are pink and red with red kernels and dark red stripes, and the occasional white cob. The silks and husks are usually streaked in dark red or purple. Harvest at 95 days for fresh eating or 110 days when the kernels start to dent for grinding. To remove ears from the stalk, twist or cut them off. This corn is excellent to make cornmeal or eat as corn on the cob.
