Ojibwe Flint Corn

A vibrant, multicolored heirloom corn variety with deep cultural significance for Ojibwe and Great Lakes Indigenous peoples. The Ojibwe name for corn is mandaamin — "the great seed" — reflecting its central role in Indigenous food traditions for thousands of years. Flint corn gets its name from its exceptionally hard outer shell, which gives it excellent shelf stability and makes it ideal for drying, grinding, and long-term storage.

Use Ojibwe Flint Corn to make traditional dishes like corn mush, hominy, or grind it into stone-ground cornmeal for breads and porridge. Its rich color and complex flavor set it apart from commercial varieties. Perfect for those seeking to reconnect with ancestral foodways or explore the incredible diversity of Indigenous corn.
