Red maize / ചുവന്ന ചോളം

Red Maize (ചുവന്ന ചോളം) is a striking variety producing cobs with deep-red kernels that are as nutritious as they are beautiful. Rich in antioxidants, it can be roasted, boiled, popped or ground into colourful flour. Fast-growing and hardy, maize crops well in warm, sunny conditions. Sow seeds directly in full sun in fertile, well-draining soil, water regularly, and harvest cobs in about 80–100 days. A fun, rewarding and ornamental grain to grow, red maize is perfect for home gardens, farm plots and curious gardeners who love something different.
