Good evening folks! I'm here to present a list of rare or lost heirloom crops of the Appalachians and the Ozarks from Native Americans and early settlers and here are some I'm trying to track down for my restoration gardens.
1. Red sweet corn
2. Cherokee flint corn
3. Old Indian potatoes
4. Old time tobacco
5. Cherokee De-aur-le flour corn
6. Cherokee Sallu-Yah flour corn
7. Cherokee red gourdseed corn
8. Old Virginia Brown cornfield beans
9. Black winter squash
10. Red Irish potatoes
11. Yellow Pearl hominy corn
12. Spanish Red sweet potatoes
13. Red Indian (Cherokee red flour corn)
14. Crawdad beans
15. Cutshort beans (strains from Madison County, Arkansas)
16. Kettle gourd (older strain from Native Americans)
17. Osage greyhorse corn
18. Cherokee brown dent corn
19. Red popcorn (from the Cherokee)
20. Green popcorn (also from the Cherokee)
21. Quapaw brown flour corn
22. Caddo gourd
23. Caddo flour corn
24. Red cutshort beans (older strains)
25. Old Time Cherokee mustard
26. Black tomato (smaller version of the Cherokee Purple)
27. Cherokee cherry tree
28. Cherokee field bean
29. Big grain Cherokee white flour ( smaller type of the regular Cherokee white flour corn)
30. Cherokee purple flour corn
That's all I'm listing for now unless anybody can share with some more rarer types of crops once belonged to Native Americans and settlers of the Appalachians and Ozarks. My restoration gardens will be an example of what agriculture looks like centuries ago before and during European contact. Please reach me if you all need me. Take care!
