White Corn (Zea) for White Corn Meal and Cabbage (Brassica) are my most needed plants because of large quantities of good tasting food they produce.

Sorghums (Broom Corn, Sudan Grass) that produce seeds exact to ten minute White Rice (Oryza) but have large seeds weight:ground area harvest ratio when planted close are my second most wanted plants because I like Sorghums' looks and good tasting rice dishes.

All annuals especially cereals that produce tender seeds with large quantities of fat and oil with good taste (Cereal Nuts) that separate easily from dull chaff are my third most wanted plants because I like fast growing plants and eating good nuts.

Please understand all plants I want or need must grow good, produce large weight:ground area ratio of good tasting flowers, fruits, leaves, roots, seeds, stems or tubers (where reasonable) with very little water, fertilizer in very warm weather, resists pest damage, also reproduce with seeds that when germinated without a cold period grow identical to parent plants, every seedtime to every harvest.

Also understand all cereals I want or need must be without needles, sharp edges or points in flower/seed area, seeds must separate easily from there enclosures from kneading dry cereal tops in a pillow case.

Please use genus and common name for correct plant match because Latin language lacks exact value. Also current plant name scheme has many incorrect name anatomy matches.

Arachis Species
Arachis hypogaea

Ground Nut
Arachis hypogaea

I really like good ground nuts. My perfect ground nut is very soft yet cleaves crisp on teeth. After a large yeilding harvest it would have a low weight too high volume ratio. Taste would be distinctly Ground Nut with high fat. Its growth habit would be cubical and the nut maturation focused underneath it self.

I request good ground nuts to consider a trade.

Brassica oleracea
Cabbage

Need a Cabbage that doesn't need leaves wiped to grow good heads, likes very warm weather, is without rib fiber, citric acid and vitamin c, and is with high fat and gluten plus below characteristics.
Good cabbage available here in Arizona in September/October has leaves softer than good treated or lotion skin, leaves do not make a squeaking sound when rubbed together, pearl white without Opal is the greatest color quantity of head leaves, other head leaf color traits include subtle Mica type light reflection, leaf veins/ribs are thick without having fiber, less than twenty minutes for a one inch slice to cook in boiling water, finishes cooking to look like fat.
Rooting stem sections in water before transplanting to soil is a successful cultivation practice but seeds may eliminate potential spread of disease.

Must like very warm weather during seed ripening.
