Pencil Cob is was named this way because the cob can be as thin as a pencil. This produces long and deep kernels. Considered a shoepeg dent corn that was typically used as a roasting corn but very flavorful in its milk stage for frying or creaming. Incredibly popular for southern style grits. However one of the folks here at Sustainable Seed swears it makes the sweestest corn bread and it's all she will use.<br> Pencil Cob grows 6'-12' tall and produces 2-3 ears per stalk. What makes Pencil Cob still so popular? It has a very hearty corn flavor that is missing in most modern corns. Considered one of the absolute best roasting corn types.
