There are very old mentions of this corn which grew in the Gaspé region and throughout the territory of the east coast of Canada. It was originally grown by members of the Mi'gmaq First Nation. Jacques Cartier is said to have even observed plantations of it in 1534. This small popcorn type corn is particularly early and its cobs form in less than three months. Cobs measuring 10-12 cm with 8 rows of grains.
BOTANICAL INFORMATION
Latin name: Zea mays
Common names: Popcorn corn, Gaspé corn
English: Gaspe flint corn
Family: Poaceae
MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
To ensure that the kernels burst well, let them dry on the plant before harvesting.

This rare variety of corn was shared with us by Steve McCumber, founder of the Haudenosaunee Seed Savings Group. It comes from the Winnebago nation who cultivated it for generations on their lands, today Wisconsin and Illinois. With a beautiful cream color sprinkled with bluish spots, this corn is a flour variety. You can of course try the experiment of eating it fresh, but its taste is less sweet and its texture more fibrous than the varieties that we find on our stalls in summer. On the other hand, it will be excellent for cooking cornbread, polenta or hominy. Old and rare variety, please share!

Old variety of corn introduced around 1890 in the USA, soft and sweet. Plant over 2 m tall, producing two to three 20 cm spikes. The long white grains are not arranged in a row, but in a totally irregular fashion. Cook longer to extract the flavor. Excellent on the BBQ.

Antoine D'Avignon was passionate about heirloom vegetables. A pioneer in Quebec in the preservation of heritage seeds, he harvested, cultivated and shared several varieties which, today, would have been forgotten without him. For example, Louis-Marie's Crotte d'ours potato, Ice Grow tomato (from Suzanne Bourgeois), Huron wheat, and... this corn. he appeals to all Quebec corn that our grandmothers grew no longer exists. No one grows flour corn anymore. After the interview, a lady telephoned the radio station to say that she had in her possession seeds of flour corn that had been grown in her family for ages.<!--more-->And so it is that she shared with Antoine her precious treasure. Then that summer, Antoine talked about it to his friend, Mme France Bouffard, who asked him to give her some seeds. Hesitating, because he has very few, he ends up leaving him 6 seeds. She cultivates and multiplies them, then makes flour for her pancakes. The story could have ended like this, but it was without counting on the early death of Antoine, who took with him the story of corn. More recently, Mrs. Bouffard contacted me, who then worked at Semences du patrimoine . We speak. She tackles the corn, then sends it to me by post. Having had a good first harvest, we can therefore offer it to you in turn. To top it all off, Antoine had given the seeds to another of his friends, René Paquet, who has kept the corn husk to this day. And on the envelope, a name. Anita Fournier, from Nicolet. We are looking for this lady (probably deceased today) or her descendants. Please let us know if you know it. Note that some of the seeds have been sent to Seeds of Diversity for preservation. Hoping that you too will contribute to adding a new chapter to the story. Send us photos of your Canadian White Corn and we'll share them.
