Cherokee White Eagle corn is a highly valued heirloom variety known for its unique appearance and cultural significance. This tall corn produces long ears with white, plump kernels, which may sometimes feature yellow or cream hues. Each ear measures 6 to 7 inches long and has mottled blue and white kernels. This variety is prized for its rich flavor and is commonly used in dishes such as grits, cornmeal, and fresh sweet corn. The plants typically grow to heights of 8 to 10 feet and usually produce two ears per stalk, maturing about 110 days after planting.
Rooted in Native American agriculture, particularly among the Cherokee, this corn has been cultivated for generations. It was carried along the "Trail of Tears" in 1839. Traditionally, Cherokee women ground corn using a kanona, a hollowed-out log. Today, it has gained popularity among chefs and was even grown in the White House Garden in 2011.
