Short Description:

Hickory King White Corn is a traditional heirloom maize variety originating in the United States, prized for its large white kernels and impressive cobs.

Traditionally grown for cornmeal, grits, hominy and other culinary uses, it is valued for its excellent flavour and versatility.
