Our new supplier of heirloom Mexican Cónico Cremoso corn this year is a cooperative from Mexico that sources Mexican heritage crops with a commitment to native small-scale family farmers in Mexico, with a commitment to the farmers, flavor, and biodiversity.
Their partner farmers cultivate a variety of heirloom corns that have been preserved through generations. They use agricultural systems that prioritize biodiversity, such as the milpa, to nurture these unique crops and the land.
Milpa is a field for growing food crops and a crop-growing system used throughout Mesoamerica, especially in the Yucatán Peninsula, in Mexico.
By using heirloom open pollinated corn we believe the real corn flavor comes through. The corn is grown without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, but as an added assurance we have lab tested samples from the farms, with no trace of GMOs or Glyphosate found in the batches we tested.
Healthy Traditions has sourced a Cónico Cremoso (cream color) native variety of corn from San Felipe del Progreso from the State of Mexico, commonly known as Edomex (from Estado de México), to distinguish it from the name of the whole country.
Love the grits
We had taken a break from grains until we found this company and are so happy to be able to enjoy these grits, taste and texture are amazing. - Ashley J.
Sustainable staple
I bought this big bucket of corn because I am trying to see how much money we can save on food if we try to make recipes with ground corn (cornbread, corn read muffins, johnny cakes, cracklin cornbread, etc...). I am very pleased with this purchase and believe after only grinding a half gallon dried corn into cornmeal that this will definitely last a while. - Christy C.
Great Corn!
I will buy, buy and buy again!- Anthony S.
Wonderful cornmeal
It is the best cornmeal I have ever tasted. I love corn bread but I could never get it to taste that well using cornmeal from the grocery store. This cornmeal tastes like I remember my mother making when I was a kid. Its hard to find anything that tastes like it did when I was a kid. It is great. - Barbara G.
Corn tasting and yummy
