Early corn crop has colorful harvest seeing red

Colorful Harvest has begun bringing in the first loads of its unique Ruby Jewel sweet red corn for 2015. This year’s harvest has kicked off about 7 days earlier than expected, moving the season into high gear.

The corn is the product of traditional non-GMO plant breeding, and gets its red hue from higher levels of antioxidants naturally expressed by the seed variety. The heirloom style red corn reflects the traits of modern sweet corn’s multi-hued ancestors that were blue, green, purple, and yes, red.

The sweet red corn is available in bulk cartons, as well as the popular trimmed and windowed 4-ear tray packs.
