Thailand White Pink Waxy Corn F1 Hybrid Treated Seeds (Zea mays) Premium hybrid sticky corn producing tender chewy kernels; ideal for fresh eating, steaming, and specialty markets

Minimum: 10+ Seeds

Some corn is meant for butter and the grill. This one is meant for steam baskets, street markets, and hands that don’t mind getting a little sticky. Thailand White Pink Waxy Corn is a premium F1 hybrid grown for its soft, chewy, glutinous texture and beautiful pale white to blush-pink kernels that stand out in the field and on the table.

If you love Asian sticky corn, specialty produce, or unique market crops that draw attention, this is the kind of corn that makes customers stop and ask questions.

What Makes Waxy Corn Different?

Unlike standard sweet corn, waxy corn contains a different starch structure that gives it that signature sticky, tender chew when cooked. It is not sugary-sweet like dessert corn. Instead, it offers a creamy, mild sweetness with a satisfying texture that holds up beautifully to steaming.

Plant details:

• Botanical name: Zea mays

• Type: Waxy (glutinous) corn

• Hybrid: F1 for uniformity and vigor

• Kernel color: White with soft pink blush

• Ear size: Medium, well-filled

• Days to maturity: Approx. 70–85 days

The ears develop evenly, and the plants show strong growth and good standability in warm-season gardens.

Flavor & Culinary Use

Thailand White Pink Waxy Corn shines when steamed. The kernels turn glossy and slightly translucent, with a soft, chewy texture that is deeply satisfying.

Best uses:

• Steamed whole ears

• Grilled after steaming

• Sliced into soups

• Added to savory coconut dishes

• Sold fresh at farmers markets

This is the kind of corn you eat warm, straight from the cob. It pairs beautifully with a sprinkle of salt or a brush of coconut cream.

For growers targeting specialty markets, waxy corn offers something different from standard sweet corn, often commanding premium pricing.

Growing Thailand Waxy Corn Successfully

Like all corn, it thrives in warmth and full sun. Wait until soil temperatures are consistently above 60°F before sowing.

Growing tips:

• Direct sow 1 inch deep after last frost

• Space 8–12 inches apart in blocks, not single rows

• Full sun, minimum 6–8 hours daily

• Rich, well-drained soil with compost

• Consistent watering during tasseling and ear fill

Plant in tight blocks to ensure good pollination. Avoid planting near sweet corn if you want to preserve true waxy texture and quality, as cross-pollination can affect kernel characteristics.

Harvest when ears feel full and silks have dried but before kernels harden. The window for perfect texture is important, so check daily once maturity approaches.

Farm & Garden Value

Thailand White Pink Waxy Corn seeds are excellent for:

• Specialty market growers

• CSA boxes

• Ethnic food markets

• Home gardeners exploring global crops

• Warm-climate and zone 7 summer gardens

The pink-tinged kernels add visual appeal, while the hybrid vigor ensures reliable yields.
