Montana Morado Maize Corn seeds

Montana Morado Maize is a premier, nutrient-dense superfood flour corn. Navajo elders believed black corn had healing properties. This North American Native grain is the result of 35 years of dedicated breeding by Dave Christensen, who sought to create the most antioxidant-rich cereal in the world. Montana Morado Maize corn is 99% Painted Mtn. corn botanically speaking and is adapted to the shorter seasons of Montana. Boasting a soft starch that is exceptionally easy to grind, this maize produces a superior cornbread with a robust 13% protein content. Unlike traditional Andean purple corns that struggle in northern climates, Montana Morado was specifically bred for the short growing seasons and environmental stressors of the North. It is a diverse, open-pollinated variety, allowing growers to sustainably save and replant their seeds year after year.
 
The true power of this grain lies in its unparalleled concentration of anthocyanins—deep pigments that provide intense anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and immune-boosting benefits. While South American varieties contain only a single layer of pigment, Montana Morado incorporates a rare Navajo trait that creates two layers of pigment, resulting in ten times the antioxidant power of blue corn. These compounds support gut health, aid in detoxification, and assist in the repair of damaged cells. Growing on hardy, vigorous plants similar to the famous Painted Mountain Corn, the long, cylindrical ears produce kernels so deeply saturated with purple that they appear ink-black, offering a potent medicinal grain that is finally ready for the world.
