Iroquois non-GMO White Corn Project

The sight and sound of Iroquois white corn being roasted and turned is the progress of a culture bringing back traditional food for health and tradition. It's a food used widely by the Iroquois for at least 2,000 years. (.....) For first time in 300 years, 3.5 acres of Iroquois white corn is available at Ganondagan. The Iroquois White Corn Project was started by Dr. John Mowhak after being concerned about Native American nutrition and diabetes. He thought the project was a way to not only return to physical health but spiritual tradition. After his passing, the project was moved to Ganondagan. It's considered to be a non-GMO project verified and gluten-free food. The products are now offered in grocery stores.
