Remember when “Corn Nuts” used to have seeds that you could grow “10’ High Corn” or whatever plant it was... when I was a kid I really didn’t care for the Corn Nuts ... I just wanted to plant a HUGE Corn Plant.... I think there was a similar sales pitch with Sunflower seeds ...

Half a Century ago so it’s a fuzzy memory.

Bigger is not always better.

The best sweetcorn on the planet is “silver queen”

Cant grow it in Texas though.

Farm country we would take fresh sweet corn off the stalk and remove the kernals and pop it like popcorn in a pan.... homemade corn nuts!

I thought Corn-Nuts were terrible; I was rarely able to stomach eating more than a pack or two a day.

Then they switched to the huge kernels, and ruined them...but I loved trying to grow those seeds. Never had any luck, as we lived too far north to have long enough a season.
