Golden Bantam is an open-pollinated heirloom that grows to 5' and produces two 6" ears of corn per stalk. The large 7" ears produce 8-10 rows of juicy kernels. This is the original sweetcorn that won America's heart and convinced families that yellow corn was good for something besides simply livestock feed.

For best eating, roast Golden Bantam and eat it straight off the cob. Makes a tasty creamed corn and is good for canning and freezing, too.

• America's Original Sweet Corn - Golden Bantam is the heritage yellow sweet corn that won America's hearts. Harvest sweet corn at the milk stage, about 20 days after silks emerge. To test for ripeness, once silks begin browning, part the husk along the cob and poke a kernel with a fingernail. If the liquid is milky, then it is ready for picking. Sweet corn is still nutritious after this stage, but the flavor is not as sweet.
• Reliable Heirloom - Bantam Golden is a good choice for early planting in colder soils. Best planted directly in the outdoor garden, this is one of our favorite vegetables to grow. This open pollinated heirloom grows up to 5 feet tall and produces two 6" ears of corn per stalk.
