Chewy Corn Seeds (20 seeds) - Yellow, Black, Purple - Sticky Millet - Corn

Product Description

A traditional corn variety from Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu.
Also known as Toukibi or Mochikibi.
Its simple, chewy texture, unlike the overly sweet varieties of today, is addictive.

* We are cultivating this traditional variety, which we obtained from a friend in Kumamoto Prefecture, because someone who ate it in the past wanted to try it again.

* Please note: We sow, manage, and harvest this corn in the same way as other types of corn.

Other Information

* My family has been farmers for generations, going back to my grandfather. My father was a part-time farmer until his retirement.

* To avoid causing trouble for neighboring farmers if the land becomes abandoned, I manage the farmland for about an hour a day when I have time, as a way to prevent weeds. I grow vegetables in my own style.

* I practice natural farming, which does not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This involves companion planting, mixed cropping, utilizing beneficial insects, and short work periods.
