Bloody Butcher Dent is an heirloom variety of dent corn that has been grown in the Appalachian Mountains for generations. It was likely introduced to European settlers in the early 1800s. Its kernels are deep red with a white internal starch, suggesting blood on a butcher’s apron. Flakes of red bran lend a unique depth of flavor and texture.

We recommend using our products as soon as possible in order to enjoy the benefits of fresh flour, but if storing longer than 2 weeks, we recommend freezing or refrigerating for maximum shelf-life.

NOTE 1: By definition, heirloom crops are non-GMO. Additionally, GMO’s cannot be used in organic agriculture.

NOTE 2: This is not seed-grade. While you can still plant this grain with success, we do not guarantee genetic viability, nor do we test for germination/purity. We often set aside seed for our own planting, which is cleaned differently and germ-tested, but not always.
