The black kernels were eye-catching and made my garden feel more exotic. Taste was excellent, a little sweeter than standard yellow corn. Will plant again next year.
Loved the deep purple-black color of the corn. Growing them was straightforward, and the harvest was very rewarding. They roasted beautifully for a side dish.
These seeds sprouted reliably, and the plants grew tall and healthy. The sweet flavor was great, and the dark color made them a conversation starter at the table.
The black corn is just as sweet as regular corn but more visually interesting. Took a little extra care to keep pests away, but worth it for the novelty.
My kids were fascinated by the dark cobs! Taste was excellent�sweet, crisp, and perfect for grilling. They made our vegetable garden more exciting.
