Red Ruby Corn Seeds (Zea mays)
General Description
Red Ruby Corn, also known as Scarlet Corn or Blood Red Corn, is a stunning heirloom variety prized for its deep red kernels, high nutritional value, and unique, slightly nutty flavor. Originally cultivated by indigenous farmers in the Americas, this variety has gained popularity among home gardeners and specialty growers for its ornamental beauty, rich taste, and versatility in both culinary and decorative uses.
Plant Characteristics
This vigorous corn variety grows to a height of 1.8–2.5 meters (6–8 feet), producing tall, sturdy stalks with well-formed ears. Each ear measures 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) in length, packed with vibrant red kernels that deepen in color as they mature. The kernels retain their striking hue even after cooking, making them a visually appealing ingredient.
Taste and Nutritional Benefits
Red Ruby Corn has a mildly sweet, slightly nutty flavor with a firmer texture than traditional yellow corn. It is rich in anthocyanins, antioxidants, fiber, and essential vitamins, contributing to heart health, improved digestion, and overall well-being. This variety is often used for flour, cornmeal, popcorn, and whole grain dishes, offering both taste and health benefits.
Cultivation Recommendations
• Sow seeds directly in well-drained soil at a depth of 2.5–4 cm (1–1.5 inches).
• Germination occurs within 7–14 days at an optimal temperature of 18–25°C (65–77°F).
• Space plants 30–45 cm (12–18 inches) apart in rows for proper growth.
• Requires full sun and moderate, consistent watering to support ear development.
• Harvest in 90–110 days, when husks dry and kernels harden for storage.
Uses and Applications
Red Ruby Corn is highly versatile, ideal for grinding into cornmeal, making tortillas, roasting, and popping. Its deep red color also makes it a popular choice for decorative displays, ornamental gardens, and heirloom seed collections. The kernels can be used in traditional dishes or processed into flour for baking and specialty recipes.
