Bloody Butcher is a deep red to burgundy colored dent corn, developed in Virginia in 1845. Bursting with corn flavor, this variety is ideal for cornmeal and grits.

Bloody Butcher Red Corn Cornmeal

I had been wanting to get some Bloody Butcher cornmeal (along with a few other non-yellow corns) for quite some time, but until I discovered Barton Springs Mill, I thought I'd have to get a decent harvest (which hasn't happened recently). So I was quite excited to try this once I realized it was available from Farmers Who Care. I made stuffed bell peppers and used this as a masa harina sort of tamale filling. Tasted great and made a nice dough. Looking forward to more great cooking experiences.

Bloody Butcher Cornmeal Yes, Yes, Yes!

I’m a southern girl and love great cornbread. It all starts with a good traditional recipe and awesome, fresh cornmeal. My grandmother covered the first for me, and now I have the second from a local mill, no less.

Mill easily, the color is gorgeous. I did mix with flour, worked great!

Really Quality Items

I received my shipment in a timely manner. First I cooked the grits, which were tasty but for my aging esophagus were too fibrous. I will put them aside for now. Then I used my flour to bake a loaf of bread, which turned out delicious though I have not baked bread in decades. Thank you for everything! I'm telling everybody I know about Barton Springs Mill.

Love this stuff.

Best heirloom flours

I’ve been sourcing heirloom grains (mostly einkorn) for years for health and family allergies purposes. To have this amazing mill right here from all fairly local suppliers is a huge blessing. The quality of all of their grains is amazing. The 00 varieties are so light and easy to bake with, no more heavy, dense or course results. The Rouge de Bordeaux is delicious with a sort of cinnamon note that makes the best cakes and muffins. Thanks for being a pioneer and bringing healthy good quality grains to the public. You’ve built it out using antique mills and are really embracing the slow food movement. Our tastebuds and healthy guts thank you!
