This is a dent corn that we plan to make into cornmeal: http://www.pbase.com/tinamanley/image/152066598/original The other corn is Floriana Red Flint, an Italian corn used to make polenta, which is what I will do with it! All from heirloom seeds, non-GMO ;-) C&C greatly appreciated. Tina --? Tina Manley - - -? In 2007 NY passed a law creating a new class of ?Farm Distilleries.? This law supports the centuries old New York tradition of agricultural craft wines and spirits. In the pre-Prohibition era, hundreds of small stills dotted the landscape,?offering farmers a convenient way to market locally grown fruits and produce. Distilleries are limited in production and the product must contain a minimum of 75% NY raw agricultural material. The new law permits tasting and retail sales on site. The base product is distilled from either grain or apples. Local farmers have been induced to grow special heirloom corn that is used to make the product. If your state has a similar law you might be able to find a local moonshiner that can process your corn into a potable product. I'm sure any visiting LUG members would hep you consume it. Larry Z
