Corn - Rainbow Inca

NZH A beautiful multi-coloured corn that was developed by plant breeder Dr. Alan Kapuler in the late 1970’s. By crossing a white seeded Peruvian variety, southwest Native American varieties and several heirloom sweet corns; Rainbow Inca was born. Produces 20cm long cobs that increase in colour as they mature. Wonderful steamed, barbequed or pan-fried before the kernels completely mature. Can be dried and saved to be added to soups and stews in winter, also a beautiful decoration. Kids love the many colours and nutty flavour. Annual, height to 2.5m, frost tender.
