Local white flint corn is a medium-maturing variety with a flint-type white kernel, characterized by high nutritional value and a soft, juicy kernel structure. The plant is tall with moderately wide, curved leaves, and the ear is long and slender with a small number of rows of kernels. A distinctive feature of this variety is the weak or absent anthocyanin pigmentation in various parts of the plant, giving it a characteristic appearance. The flowering period is medium-late, and resistance to damage by grasshoppers and bollworms is rated as moderate.
This corn variety is intended for grain production, which is used in the manufacture of grit, suitable for preparing porridge and corn sticks. Due to the absence of lutein pigment in the kernels, white corn contains a high amount of sugars and easily digestible protein, as well as important microelements such as calcium, magnesium, chromium, sulfur, and a complex of vitamins. This makes it especially beneficial for people who do not consume animal protein, as well as for children, allergy sufferers, and those with digestive issues.
The seeds of this variety are packaged in a convenient format: a paper envelope without glue, containing a sealed polyethylene zip lock bag inside, which helps preserve the quality and quantity of seeds. Due to its unique characteristics and beneficial properties, white flint corn is becoming increasingly popular among farmers and consumers, firmly occupying leading positions in the market.
