## Description

This corn variety was nearly lost to time. In the early 2000's, the last known grower of this corn passed away, but the corn was salvaged from his last patch and passed around to other farmers. We are extremely lucky to have it. While famous for it's bootlegging past, it makes incredible masa for tamales, better flavored grits and hominy and corn bread to die for. We love it so much, that in 2020, we planted a full acre of it for our family. If you want to grow a corn for meal....or other purposes...=).....you gotta try this famous dent corn out.
