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.
