You may think this is harsh, to which I would reply that Jaguar Priest is a new introduction from seedkeeper and corn breeder Stephen Smith that walks the line between flint and flour corn, as is common among many indigenous corn varieties. I’ve found it leans toward the floury side. It strongly expresses its ancient ancestry with lots of tillers (side stalks), vigorous brace roots and heavy nitrogen-fixing gel production. Its speckled color pattern means it carries a high amount of genetic variation, and it will produce some reddish-orange kerneled variants in addition to the primary purple-speckled type.

Corn cares not from whence the shit posts FTFY. “Whence” means “from what origin”.
