Jimmy Red Corn Seeds - Vibrant Red Bootlegger Corn - Heirloom Corn Seeds - Used for Shine

Jimmy Red is an open pollinated, heirloom, vibrant-red, dent corn. Jimmy Red seed nearly went extinct in the early 2000s when the last SC bootlegger growing it passed away, but it’s made a comeback and is now hot on the culinary and spirits scene. We’ve heard it makes a mean cornbread but also has an unusually high Brix content for field corn and therefore can also be harvested in the milk stage for roasting. It has a uniquely large germ giving it a more pronounced flavor than other field corns.
