In the 1920s farmer Ernest Strubbe followed his curiosity to began what turned into a lifetime devoted to the breeding of a kaleidoscope of dent corn varieties. Over the decades he selected a painter’s palette of emerald green, red-black, pink, white, orange and his favorite, blue dent. Strubbe’s Blue features solid colored ears of oceanic hues ranging from deep turquiose, true blue to dusky purple. Removing the kernals reveals a hidden surprise: the cobs are a striking terra cotta color, beautifully contrasting the blue kernels. 7 foot tall sturdy, lodge-resistant plants reliably produce two ears per plant. Ears are sizable, up to 8” long and very thick. Excellent for grinding and creating your own blue corn flour.
