Sweet Corn Snow Gold F1
Botanical Name: Zea mays
Sweet corn was grown by several Native American tribes, who passed it onto European settlers. An early/mid-season variety with excellent sweetly-flavoured bicoloured kernels. Enjoy steamed and eaten directly off the cobs or add to stews, rice, risottos, soups and pasta.
