Description

Early Golden Bantam Corn is a beloved heirloom sweet corn variety known for its rich old-fashioned flavor, golden-yellow kernels, and early harvest. Introduced in the early 1900s, this classic variety produces compact ears packed with tender, sweet kernels that helped popularize yellow sweet corn in home gardens.

The sturdy plants perform well in a variety of growing conditions and are especially valued for their reliable production and excellent eating quality. Fresh-picked ears are delicious grilled, steamed, or eaten straight from the garden.
