This variety of sweet corn is bred to produce large, delicious ears with increased sugar content for an added pop of sweetness.
It's prized for its tender, creamy kernels. Bodacious Hybrid is renowned for its sweet and delicious flavor, making it an ideal addition to any meal.
Bred to be much sweeter than traditional sweet corn, it retains that sweetness for three to five days after picking from the seven-inch tall stalks. And unlike super-sweet varieties, Bodacious Sweet Corn can be planted next to other sweet corn!
