White Corn
White corn is a sweet corn variety. Its ears are wrapped in tightly layered pale lime green to white husks. One ear of corn can contain up to 400 kernels growing in rows lengthwise.
Cantaloupe Melon
The cantaloupe is defined by two elements: its roughly netted stone and green colored skin and its aromatic orange-coral colored flesh. When perfectly ripe, the flesh is juicy, unctuous and sweet.
Seasons/Availability
In cooler northern climates, spring is the pansy's peak season. Pansie's are available year round.
Description/Taste
Velvety-textured and offering a slightly sweet flavor similar to wintergreen, the pansy offers a fantastic array of vibrant colors. Having a broad color spectrum for an annual, pansies display their loveliness in yellow, white, red, orange, black, purple, pink, lavender, mahogany, blue, apricot and bronze. The flowers may be just a single color or have two or three colors.
Geography/History
An ancestor of the viola and of the species Viola wittrockiana, the wild pansy and the viola are especially favored and cultivated in Europe. "Pansy" is derived from the French word "pensee" meaning thought or remembrance. The pansy plant we are familiar with today is said to have had its beginning in Iver, Buckinghamshire, England. Making their way to North America in the late 1800s, pansies quickly gained popularity.
