African Corn/Maize
$9.75
/kg
What better way to say “summer” than with whole grain corn, on the cob or shelled. Its chewier texture makes it excellent for the grill, in boils, or in mixed grain combos (eg beans & corn), or as flour. It is starchy and has tougher kernels than those commonly grown in Canada. This corn is a staple across the continent, used in various meals like pap, Sadza/ Ugali, porridge & more.

Sweet Sorghum is a tall cereal crop known for its juicy stalks, which are rich in natural sugars. Traditionally chewed like sugarcane or processed into syrup. A climate-resilient crop, it’s drought-tolerant and thrives even in poor soils. Nutritionally, it is high in antioxidants and gluten-free. The syrup is a rich source of iron and energy, especially useful in anemia-prone populations. This is a great addition to a juicing regimen, the sweetness of the stalks will temper the bitter taste in green vegetables like bitter leaf, ugu & scent leaf.
