Oaxacan Green corn is a centuries-old variety that is a favorite of the Zapotec peoples, utilized in their green tamales and tortillas. This dent variety exhibits complex nutty, earthy flavors and aromas, and is high in starch. It lends a subtle yellow-green hue when cooked or baked.

nice that it's ancient grain
I appreciate that it's an ancient grain. However, I cooked it for an hour and a half, and it was still kind of grainy in texture. Not what I expected from polenta. I would use it in other cornmeal recipes.

Not as good as the last Polenta I purchased from Barton Springs Mill
This polenta is not nearly as finely ground as the last time I purchased it. The Oaxacan Green Polenta is not green either, like the last purchase. The last bag had a beautiful green color to it and a very nice, fine grind. I wish I could attach a picture of the two side by side. Honestly, I wonder if they accidentally put the wrong thing in the bags marked 'Oaxacan Green Polenta'.

Best polenta ever!
The Oaxacan Green polenta has a subtle nutty flavor that cannot be beat. Guests and family alike were in awe of it as part of an Argentinian inspired meal over the holidays.
