Zea mays
Large wide deep kernels on small white cobs.
8-9" long ears.
Grows in a wide variety of soils.
Very tight husks help keep out corn worms.
Excellent root structure, but remember to plant them on 8-10" centers so they can help support each other in high winds.
Each plant can easily average a pound of dry kernels.
One of the best varieties for hominy because the skin slips off so easy.
There are many uses for dent corns like: Hominy, masa harina (what tamales or chips are made out of), Posole, Corn Bread, Corn nuts, Corn Muffins, Hush Puppies, Corn Fritters, Grits, and Corn Soup just to name a few! Slice the kernels off in the milk stage and saute with onions, garlic and other spices for a wonderful dish!
