Nothstine Dent Corn seeds (organic)

SKU: 999361E

Renowned for its suitability in producing yellow cornmeal, Nothstine Dent Organic Corn is a cherished choice among growers. This classic Northern Michigan heirloom originated in 1975 with just 50 seeds. Maturing swiftly, its medium-sized ears measure 7–8 inches and bear glossy yellow kernels crowned with white caps. Notably, Nothstine Dent Organic Corn exhibits an early drying tendency in the field, making it well-suited for regions with shorter growing seasons. While it may not boast high yields, its inherently sweet flavor more than justifies its cultivation. This exceptional variety is ideal for producing cornmeal and flour, offering versatility in culinary applications. The plants, standing at a height of 7 feet, grow as single stalks, reflecting their robust USDA Certified Organic status.
