The landrace Pink Xocoyul (Xocoyul Rosado) originates from the mountainous regions of Mexico. Plants of this type are characterized by a tall, sturdy stalk and wide green leaves, and the kernels possess a distinctive pinkish hue. It is used in traditional Mexican cuisine for preparing dough for tortillas, tamales, and the beverage atole.
In seed catalogs for gardeners, open-pollinated forms named Pink Popcorn are encountered. They are valued for the decorative appearance of the ears and the ability of the kernels to turn into white fluffy popcorn when heat-treated.
