Description

Hopi Harvest Blue Corn (8oz) is a fun addition to your sprouting mix!

Organically grown Hopi blue corn contains approximately 20% more protein than the common yellow corn and is also rich in anti-inflammatory anthocyanins, one of the most powerful antioxidants, which also give it its unique color. Blue corn is also lower in starch (sugars) compared to common corn varieties.

Blue heirloom corn was developed hundreds of years ago in Mexico by the indigenous people of the Chalcatongo de Hidalgo community in the Oaxaca region. It then was harvested in other areas like Arizona and New Mexico.

To sprout, rinse and soak 8-12 hours in cool clean water. Drain, rinse, and sprout for another 24-48 hours, rinsing a few times per day. Once you see root tails emerge, give them a final rinse and offer them to your bird, keeping unused portions in a sealed container in your refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
