Farm Whole Milled Corn Flour

But what consumers should pay special attention to is the consumption of corn that is not a hybrid, that is, a seed that has been artificially created in the laboratory. It is very sad that of the more than 300 native Greek varieties of corn that were once cultivated in the Greek countryside (each place grew its own corn) now almost none are cultivated and most have completely disappeared. Their place was taken by hybrid seeds because these seeds yield huge production and have an easier cultivation process. In order to understand this, it is worth noting that while the usual corn hybrids (which have flooded the market in recent decades) have 1.5-2 tons of production/hectare, the local variety Diakoniara only reaches 400 kg production/hectare! The difference is huge and the financial benefits even more gigantic!Therefore, the conscientious consumption of pure and natural food not only contributes to maintaining our health but also to the balance of the entire ecosystem! At Agroktima Antonopoulos, 2 traditional native varieties of corn are preserved and cultivated. One is called Diakoniara and is used for the production of cornmeal. While another one is cultivated from which Dilofou popcorn is produced.
