Sweetcorn (Sugar Corn), Heirloom ‘Golden Bantam’, Organic

Sweetcorn is a variety of maize with a high sugar content. Unlike field corn varieties, which are harvested when the kernels are dry and mature (dent stage), sweet corn is picked when immature (milk stage) and prepared and eaten as a vegetable, rather than a grain. It stores poorly and must be eaten fresh, canned, or frozen, before the kernels become tough and starchy.

Sweet Corn was first grown by several Native American tribes. The Iroquois gave the first recorded sweet corn (called Papoon) to European settlers in 1779. It soon became a popular food in southern and central regions of the United States.

We are growing a traditional variety that isn’t Genetically Modified. Taste the difference.
