Overview
Abenakii Calais Flint is an open-pollinated Native American heirloom flint corn grown for cornmeal rather than fresh eating. Ears are 7 to 9 inches with 8 rows of kernels, sometimes up to 12, mostly golden yellow with the occasional dark maroon ear. It handles cold conditions well, which makes it a good grain corn for northern gardens. Let the ears dry fully on the stalk before harvesting and grinding.
