OK so I have a bunch of Indian Corn...

[sparkles2307]

...and I dont know what to do with it. It seemed like a good idea at the time to grow it, but now that I have a crap load I dont know what to do so its just taking up a bunch of room in my garage... any suggestions? No one will buy it, so thats out and I feel wasteful just cracking it for the chooks...can I like, shell the cobs and put the rainbowy kernels in pretty dishes around the house?

I say yes.
Give some to family

Can you not eat it?

popcorn? use a brown paper bag, and you can stick the whole cob in the microwave.

its big, maybe would work for popcorn but I dont know if it'd taste good cause it wasnt dried down all the way when I picked it and its been drying in the garage slowly.
its the "Earth Tone" corn from Territorial.
I might end up having to toss to the cows and chooks since no one wants it...

I would take it! Lol.

Does it have the husks attached? Tie some together and hang it around the house for decoration. If you made a corn stalk teepee you can add some life to it with the corn.

I have some of that corn too! I have read that you can grind it into flour and it's fine

It won't pop though; pop corn and regular corn are different.

We used to make indian corn necklaces or bracelets--we'd soak the kernels in water for awhile, thread a needle, and make them as long or as short as we wanted, then let the kernels dry. It was a fun activity.

Thanks for the suggestions!
