Once harvested, hang the ears in a dry, dark, and exceptionally well-ventilated area for 6 weeks; direct sunlight during the curing process can cause the deep ruby pigments to fade. After the initial curing period, shell a sample to test the pop; if the expansion is insufficient, the kernels require further moisture reduction. Store your finished kernels in airtight glass jars in a cool, dark location to preserve both their culinary viability and their stunning visual intensity for future seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Betri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48424583332081,"sku":null,"price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4476\/0049\/files\/a_948ab66f-4088-4703-9b23-04b8c7b2081d.webp?v=1784506369","url":"https:\/\/sejahteraseeds.com\/products\/premium-mini-red-strawberry-corn-seeds-zea-mays-var-everta-elite-miniature-heirloom-ornamental-popping-grain-50-count","provider":"Sejahtera Seeds and Bulbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
