Corn, Waxy

Latin name:  Zea Mays Var. certina

Other names: Glutninous corn, Sticky corn, Chinese corn.

Waxy corn is a specialized variety of corn known for its unique starch composition.

It’s distinct from regular sweet corn and field corn varieties due to its high amylopectin starch content, which imparts a smooth and glossy texture when cooked.

Waxy corn is cultivated in many regions around the world and is bred for specific traits like disease resistance and adaptability to different climates and soil conditions. They tend to exhibit robust growth, disease resistance, and relatively high yields, making them an attractive choice for both small-scale and commercial farmers.

This variety is currently unavailable to customers in the USA.
