Corn 
10 seeds 
"Peruvian purple"
It has a long history of use, especially for its health benefits; it is used to lower lower cholesterol levels and fight obesity. Peruvian Purple Corn is a good source of antioxidant phenolic acids and is the main ingredient in “Chicha Morada.” Whole kernel maize should be stored in a cool dark place. It is best to only grind the amount needed. Once ground, any whole grain flour will turn rancid in four to five days (because all of the natural oils and materials found in the grain are still in the flour) at room temperature. It will last a week or two in the refrigerator, or six months or longer in the freezer.

Maize was one of the traditional “Three Sisters,” along with beans and squash.The Three Sisters are the cornerstone and basic foundation of early Native American culture and agriculture.
