Zea mays

Green oaxacan is probably the oldest dent corn variety that we have in our collection. Highly productive, it comes directly from Mexico. This variety is THE corn used by the Zapotec people when making the regional favorite, green-flour tamales.

Green oaxacan come is a range of coloures for yellow all the way through to bright green, it also makes for a wonderfully unusual pap, that has exceptional flavour. I would however strongly recommend that you grind this maize variety up in front of your guests, as they may be a bit hesitant to put the unusually coloured pap onto their plates. Once they know where it comes from, and once they have tasted it, they will be back for seconds.
