Red Corn is a striking and traditional variety that has been cherished for centuries, with its roots tracing back to the native farming communities of the Americas. Known for its deep crimson kernels, this corn is not only visually stunning but also carries a rich history as a staple crop used in food, rituals, and cultural traditions.

The flavor of red corn is distinct—slightly nuttier and sweeter than yellow corn, with a hearty texture that makes it versatile in the kitchen. It can be enjoyed fresh when young and tender, or dried and ground into a richly flavored flour for traditional breads, porridges, and tortillas. In Indian kitchens, it finds its way into roasted snacks, cornmeal rotis, and festive dishes, adding both nutrition and color.
