Peruvian Black Violet White Giant Corn "K'uyu Chuspi"

💰 Price: Package of 10 seeds


Peruvian Black Violet White Giant Corn "K'uyu Chuspi" is a unique variety of corn from the Andes, traditionally used for roasting and making a delicious toasted snack called cancha. 🌽

Unlike regular popcorn, "K'uyu Chuspi" corn has a softer shell and a meaty, puffy heart when toasted, giving it a rich, toasted flavor. Instead of fully popping like regular popcorn, the kernels stay puffy and have a satisfying texture. This makes it an interesting alternative for those looking for something different in their popcorn experience. 🌿

This corn is grown primarily in the Andes and in the provinces of Jujuy and Salta, in North-western Argentina. It is a long-season corn that thrives in areas with short day lengths. Its oval to conical-shaped spikes feature 18-24 rows of kernels. The grains are long and narrow, with starch at the base and sugar or dextrin at the tip. When mature, the kernels become wrinkled. 🌞

"K'uyu Chuspi" corn is still cultivated by farmers of pre-Hispanic origin in its native region. The roasted grains are commonly eaten on their own or mixed with goat cheese—a popular food pairing in the area. The grains can also be made into a typical breakfast drink, showcasing its versatility. 🍽️

For a sweeter taste, the green ears, called 'choclos', are sometimes boiled or roasted. These young ears are sweeter than mature ones due to their higher sugar content, offering a delicious and nutritious treat. 🌱


How to Grow "K'uyu Chuspi" Corn from Seeds

To grow this native Peruvian corn, follow these guidelines:

  • Sowing Time: Plant seeds when temperatures are consistently warm, ideally after the last frost. 🌞

  • Sowing Depth: Plant seeds 2-3 cm deep in well-drained, fertile soil. 🌱

  • Sowing Mix: Use a loamy soil mix to ensure proper drainage and root development. 🌍

  • Temperature: Corn prefers a warm climate, so keep the soil temperature around 21-27°C (70-80°F). 🌡️

  • Watering: Water consistently, ensuring the soil stays moist but not soggy. 💧

  • Sunlight: Corn needs full sun to grow strong and produce healthy ears. 🌞

  • Germination Time: Corn seeds will germinate in 7-10 days, so you can expect new growth quickly. ⏳

Care Instructions

  • Watering: Ensure the plants are watered regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging. 💧

  • Soil: Corn grows best in rich, well-drained soil. 🌿

  • Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and robust kernels. 🌱

  • Harvesting: Once the ears are mature and the kernels have a wrinkled appearance, harvest them carefully. 🌾
