Two ears of corn growing on two stalks.
A small patch of about a dozen stalks of flour corn. The are varying heights and the tassels are showing.
I hope so too! Small but good-looking patch. I'm hand pollinating. I'll have to learn about #nixtamalization and a few other things along the way to get the tortillas up and running.

A taco with pork, tomatoes, and lettuce.
Jar of rye berries, bottle of lye, bag of slaked lime.
Tortillas made with nixtamalized rye. Very interesting flavor (reminiscent of a pretzel in some ways) and decent texture.

I’m growing Oaxacan green dent corn in a plot at the ISU community garden this summer for #phytolith, and #starchgranule reference material. We will be looking at phytolith and starch degradation after grinding, #nixtamalization, and cooking steps. @EESatISU @indianastate
