I planted open pollinated "Golden Bantam" corn seed this year. Came up beautifully and now the corn is ripe. We picked a few, came right into the house and cooked them for dinner. They're beautiful to look at, and taste like corn, but there is NO SWEETNESS at all in their taste.

Can anyone help me figure out why?
Victory Seed described them as "sweet". Did I do something wrong?
Will the seeds I save from them yield unsweet corn next time?
