Not to be confused with the hybrid sweet corn of the same name, Silver King is an heirloom variety of white dent corn that originated in the late 1800s and became the dominant white dent corn variety in the Northern Corn Belt (a Midwestern region that includes parts of Ohio). This open pollinated corn is mild in flavor, making it a versatile base for many recipes, allowing the other ingredients to shine. It is great for adding texture to baked goods such as breads and pancakes and also makes an excellent polenta or grits to soak up any flavorful toppings added to it. It is also popular for masa making and distilling.
Flavor Profile: subtly sweet, mild corn flavor
