An interesting multi-use variety that was reputedly grown by the Aztecs 2,000 years ago. A vigorous plant, growing to heights of only 6 feet, Aztec Black corn is a relatively small variety that works well for gardeners with limited growing space. The slender cobs measure 6 to 8 inches. The kernels are white at the milk stage and turn blue-black when mature. Eat fresh or grill at milky stage; grind for a sweet dark corn meal when mature. Also used as a decorative corn. At 75 to 80 days to maturity, this corn is ready to harvest a bit sooner than most varieties.
