Choclo seeds from Bolivia for self-planting

Choclo are huge corn cobs that are especially popular in Peru and Bolivia.
Fortunately, corn also grows very well in Germany/Europe, so you can grow your own Choclo corn plants in your garden.

A package from Bolivianita.de contains about 10 Choclo corn seeds.

Choclo cobs are a popular street food in Bolivia

Compared to sweet corn in Germany, the kernels of Choclo are larger, juicier, and starchier, giving them a sturdier texture and a less sweet flavor.

In South America, Choclo is often served as a side dish to dishes like Ceviche. Whole Choclo cobs are also a popular street food in Bolivia. They are usually served with a slice of cheese as "Plato Paceño" or "Choclo con Queso."
The popular corn empanadas, Humintas, are also made from Choclo corn.
