Corn on the Cob?
Dec 5, 2013 14:33:09 #
I have never seen a Corn on the Cob like this, has anyone else, I'm told it is an ornamental variety, but how it came to grow on my husbands allotment we do not know. Wouldn't fancy eating it, but how beautiful is that.

This looks like the ornamental corn often called Indian corn (American Indian) It is grown in the states and used for fall decorations.

When you add a pic there is a box alongside "Browse" that says (store original)
If you click on that box, we can see the larger version...

You probably got a seed for Indian Corn accidentally in the seeds your husband planted. It is very beautiful. Nice photo.

It's edible. So-called Indian corn is a flint corn, and because of its high starch content isn't palatable as fresh corn-on-the-cob. However, it makes excellent cornbread when ground. Because freshly ground cornmeal contains the germ, which is where the oils are, and where the flavor is, the cornbread has a richer flavor than cornbread made with de-germinated cornmeal. When ground with the germ, it has a shorter shelf life, the oils having a tendency to go rancid. I'll post a photograph of Hopi blue corn I grew two years ago.
