(Zea mays) Hickory King is one of the oldest cultivated corn varieties and was originally selected in the Appalachian Mountains. The plant grows up to 12 feet tall, has two large spikes per stem, and contains giant yellow kernels that are no longer found in corn today.

Dried corn, especially great for grinding as grits or cornmeal. Dent corn can be enjoyed fresh while young, but is not as sweet as the more common Sweet He corn variety.
