Red corn, also known as Red posole, is a member of the grass family Gramineae. Corn, known outside of English language as simply maize, is technically classified as a grain crop, though when harvested immature is considered a vegetable. Its stalks produce a cob of seeds, which are better known as the kernels, though by botanical definition they are the individual fruits of the plant. Red corn is just one cultivars among thousands of corn varieties, heirloom, hybrid or genetically modified. Some names of Red corn varieties include Bloody Butcher, Broom Corn, Strawberry Popcorn, and Ruby Queen. The red color in Red corn is created by the plant pigment, anthocyanin. The red gene is recessive, thus a high percentage of red kernels must be planted to maintain the color variation.

Another benefit of GM technology. You can produce any variety of crop for any purpose. An example of such is the Intense Tomatoes - sturdy - the restaurant and ketchup industry love it.

You may be correct, sister.

Because we have lots of albino animals...cockroach, lizard, dogs et al; although I am yet to see any albino plant as you mentioned.

Have you seen or heard of such albino plant(s) before apart from corn?

yap I've seen other weird colored plants before

Dont waste it. dry it and replant, you can make more money selling to reseachers than normal coloured corn.

... guy you might be on your way to millionaire.

kindly preserve that corn and send message to agriculture research and study university in USA and UK they might look into it and explain something's the world had never seen. it might become a new species the world might be awaiting to see.

it look like a roasted corn. one don't need to roast again just harvest and eat

I have seen this type of corn before, I don't believe there is anything
special to explain about it.

Good day all,
need advice on maize cultivation. As we all know it's august n late planting season is almost over. Pls is t still advisable to plant maize? If yes, what are d major risk, precautions to be taken to ensure good output(yield)?. If No, give any alternative crop that will do well. I don't want to misuse a window of opportunity presented to me. Thanks.

Re: See The Coloured Corn I Harvested From My Farm by 19naia(m): 3:37am On Aug 19, 2016
Thats the original corn. The origins of corn come from Colored varieties that had mix of dark colors and some mixing of the common color today. They selected over time the ones with more yellow or white color until a strain of fully yellow and white were acheived.
I like the colored one better. Some are red, some dark blue and others brown or black. Some are also a nice golden color.
I have chips with me now made from blue corn, The chips are blue color.
Corn is Native to American continent and the native word is Maize(Maheez).

Check out the pictures. ~~~~~~~

Dark colored native corn sold in the market in south america.

Also Carrots original color is not orange. Orange was selected over time for its sweetness but i like the taste of the blue/purple carrots..

Potatoes in the picture are also various colors and shapes and are native to south America.
