A rare and beautiful blue and white hominy type corn from Mrs. Nettie Watt in 1968 of Steamburg, New York, a Seneca who has kept up many traditions of her people Early, near 60-70 days and short in height, usually around 3-4 feet tall with 2 or more ears per plant. This corn is similar to the Ha-Go-Wa hominy corn of the same tribe and this one might be a local form of it, just with blue kernels. The Senecas used these corns for small hominy like grits and cornmeal, usually in the form of a mush. The dry corn can be parched in the oven to create a variety of toasty flavors and a finer texture in the meal. The dry kernels can also be pounded to produce cracked corn.
