Golden Bantam Sweet Corn: Step back in time with Golden Bantam, an heirloom sweet corn variety first introduced in 1902. Renowned for its medium-sweet flavor, this variety produces cobs of exceptional quality, particularly when harvested at the milk ripe stage. Unlike extra-sweet hybrids, Golden Bantam converts sugar to starch more rapidly after picking, making it crucial to enjoy the cobs fresh, ideally within a day of harvest, to savor their full flavor.

 

Key Features:

  • Heirloom Variety: Established in 1902, offering a taste of agricultural history.
  • Flavor Profile: Offers a pleasant, moderately sweet taste, less intense than modern hybrids.
  • Harvesting Tips: Best when harvested at milk ripeness for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Fresh Consumption: Consume freshly picked cobs quickly to enjoy the best taste before the sugar turns to starch.
