About Unicorn Cornmeal

When nature gives you pink corn, it's a unicorn! Greg Johnsman has been growing heirloom blue corn on his South Carolina Sea Island farm for many years. One day he discovered a few ears that were pink so he saved the seeds and grew them year after year until he had a large enough crop to make this unique cornmeal.
