Product Description
Winnebago Corn
3,78 $
This rare corn variety was shared with us by Steve McCumber, founder of the Haudenosaunee seed saving group. It comes from the Winnebago nation, who has been cultivating it for generations on their land, now known as Wisconsin and Illinois.
The Winnebago corn is a flour variety. The kernels are creamy white, sprinkled with blue spots. You can try to eat it fresh if you wish, but the taste won’t be as sweet and the texture will be more fibrous than the corn cobs you usually find at summer corn stalls. It will however be best used to cook cornbreads, polenta or hominy.
Ancient and rare variety, please share!

Tetragon is usually grown for its leaves, which can be added in salads or cooked. Thanks to its ability to withstand difficult climates, this plant grows readily in the wild in China, Reunion Island, and New Zealand. It is also fairly easy to grow in Quebec, but it will behave as an annual since it cannot tolerate frost.
Held up by a round stem, tetragon has a really unique look with its thick leaves and quadrangular fruits. Good source of vitamin B1, B2 and C; the New Zealand spinach is both delicious and nutritious!

You may be more familiar with traditional round cabbages. But once you discover collard, there is no going back! A distinguished member of the Brassica family, collard is grown for its large leaves, less curly than kale.
It can be used in a variety of ways : soups, salads, sautés, stews, pasta, juices, etc. Very nutritious, it is also an excellent source of calcium and iron.
Easier to grow than cabbage, it is a vigorous green that can withstand frost. It will even be more tastier in the cold months.
Tip : If you let collard overwinter in the garden, protected under a layer of mulch, you will harvest a provision of seeds in the following spring.

Amaranth is a jack of all trades of the plant world. When the plant is still young, the leaves can be eaten just like spinach. The seeds can be used like cereals, raw, roasted, sprouted, or even to make flour. Amaranth is rich in vitamins A, B, and C, and in calcium, iron, and magnesium. But we especially like how its tall stance and bright red color decorate our garden.

Plant approximately 1 meter tall. Round fruits with a diameter of approximately 8 cm. Rare tomato variety. Firm flesh with an exquisite taste. All red tomatoes wish they were Plourde.
