Jimmy Red Corn Grits grown by Kaesebier Farm

Jimmy Red carries a mysterious past. It was grown in the south as heirloom, but it was a Native American corn that found its way from Florida, through Georgia, and up to Charleston, South Carolina. Its past is rooted in a blue Indian corn, which led to this historic corn. Jimmy Red is much higher in bricks (sugar,) which historically led its way to the whiskey/moonshine business. Because of the high brick content, it makes a fantastic eating corn. It is famous for sweet roasting ears, corn meal and grits.
