This great variety of home grown corn features gorgeous purple kernels and a healthy, dark green, easy to grow plant. We offer many other great corn varieties, yellow, white and bicolor, which are ideal for a quick grill or boiling and for eating relatively raw. But Suntava is really best when used in recipes. It¡¯s perfect for boiling, roasting, steaming, corn salad, salsa, or purply-beautiful creamed corn when it is young- around 70 days from planting. Allowed to mature into a full season corn, about 90-120 days from planting, the uses continue! Excellent for cornmeal, grits, and the traditional South American health drink ¡°chicha morada¡±.
