Magic Manna Flour Corn - Organic

Zea mays
(85 days) Open-pollinated. This superior flour corn from the eminent breeder Carol Deppe shares the hardiness, earliness and vigor of Painted Mountain, from which it was derived. Ears, 8" long with 8–12 rows, are solid-colored and can be sorted for use based on kernel color: Pancake White, Parching Red, Parching Starburst and Brown Gravy. The white makes the best breads, cakes, pancakes and other sweet baked goods. The red and starburst are best for parching. The brown and starburst make great gravies and savory cornbreads. You’ll find recipes in Carol’s book The Resilient Gardener. Try them and let us know your favorites! Breeder Royalties. Independent Breeder. OSSI. ① NEW!

Additional Information

Average 100-160 seeds/oz. All open-pollinated. Days to maturity are for dry stage.

Knäckebröd

In Sweden, Knäckebröd is a crisp bread (cracker) made from rye. This cornmeal variation with seeds is delicious!

1 cup cornmeal
1⁄3 cup raw sunflower seeds
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ cup flax seeds
¼ cup olive oil

  1. Heat 1¼ cups of water to boiling.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients together, then add the boiling water along with the olive oil. Mix to form a soft dough.
  3. Cover two regular cookie sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough, and with your hand in a plastic bag or plastic wrap, press out the dough in a very thin sheet.
  4. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Score for easier portioning.
  5. Bake in a low oven (300-305°) for one hour. Break apart.
