Dave Christensen & the Anthocyanin Story
OPEN POLINATED, ANTHOCYANIN RICH, NATIVE NORTH AMERICAN GENETICS CORN
A dream 50 years ago
“At the age of age of 17, I received a powerful unexpected dream from God. I saw two thin ears of black corn. I did not know why or how, but my soul was imprinted to develop this corn. Thus began my lifelong work with ancient corn varieties kept alive by Indian families & homesteaders.
30 years ago, I experimented with Navajo desert corn from Black Mesa, Arizona. One plant produced two ears, and when I peeled back their husks, each glistened with shiny black kernels. I was elated to have found the sacred black corn of my dream. I introduced the black Navajo color into my work and developed Montana Morado Maize.
Recently, scientists have discovered that dark-purple corn contains extraordinarily high levels of anthocyanins. These compounds act as antioxidants, with many powerful health benefits. Now I understood why I was guided to create this.
The sacred corn seed is the result of fifty years of exciting discovery and conscious breeding guided by a vision, grown in Montana with love, prayers and blessings for your health and well-being.”
