Grow a unique popcorn variety with Dakota Black Popcorn, an heirloom corn known for its striking dark kernels, rich flavor, and reliable performance. This early maturing popcorn produces 6–8 inch ears on sturdy 6-foot plants, ideal for home gardens and small-scale growing.

The glossy black kernels have a ruby-red shine in light and pop into bright white popcorn with a small black hull. The flavor is hearty and crunchy, offering a robust taste compared to standard popcorn varieties.

Originally developed by the Podoll family of Prairie Road Organic Farm in North Dakota, these organically grown seeds are produced at Four Oak Farm in Santa Rosa, California. You will receive fresh seed stock from the current growing season.
