Types of Corn
We usually collect four different types of corn: azul (blue corn), blanco (white/yellow corn), negro (black corn), and sometimes rojo (red/violet corn). We prefer to eat blanco because there is more flavor, although we do eat a balance of different corn during the week. The bigger grano de mais (corn kernels) are kept for planting next year. Corn is the crop that demands the most labor and time.
