In the kitchen, the appearance of a dish is almost as important as its flavor. An aesthetic dish, with interesting colors and texture, is naturally more appetizing, and we have found the perfect example to illustrate this theory. Carl Barnes is a farmer from Oklahoma, in the center of the United States, and his specialty is multicolored corn (also called rainbow)! Internet users, amazed by the producer's plants, were quick to rename them the "jewels of Carl Barnes". And contrary to what you might think, corn is completely natural!
Indeed, such a result was achieved by crossing two traditional maize varieties known as Pawnee and Osage. And there's not just one type of rainbow corn that results from this mix:there are ears in shades of blue and silver, emerald green and bottle green, candy pink, or even purple and mauve. , explains the site Delish . What a dream ! However, you can't imagine yourself too quickly with your bowl full of multicolored popcorn in front of a good movie, because the pigments are contained in the shell (the very one that gets stuck in your teeth) and the corn starch is quant to him immaculately white.
To see these little wonders of nature, we go to the Facebook page dedicated to them and we take full advantage of it. Yum!
