(100 days) Open pollinated. Steady appreciation from corn aficionados has now replaced the unprecedented demand this variety first enjoyed when we lauded it as an exceptionally beautiful variety with fabulous flavor. The red pointed kernels (white when immature) are easy to shell and grind into a fine pinkish meal that bakes with an appealing spongy texture. Floriani’s richly sweet delicious corny taste beat the competition silly in our pancake and cornbread muffin bake-off. Moreover with a 12% protein content, compared to about 9% for most other varieties, it’s a beneficial staple as well. Heirloom from the Valsugana Valley of Italy and brought to wider attention by William Rubel, it was once the staple polenta corn in the valley and was named for Rubel’s friends who’ve grown it there for many years.
