Raw Sweetcorn is a food item that members can receive through Farming by planting three sweetcorn seeds into an allotment patch at level 20 Farming, or by trading with other players. It was released at the same time as the Farming skill, on the 11th of July, 2005.
A scarecrow is used to protect growing sweetcorn from disease, and nine raw sweetcorn are used as payment for a farmer to watch over your growing apple tree. Putting 15 raw sweetcorn in a compost bin will yield normal Compost.
Players can cook sweetcorn on a cooking range or a fire to make cooked sweetcorn (or occasionally burnt sweetcorn); This requires level 28 cooking, and gives 104 experience. Cooking Sweetcorn gives a decent amount of experience, and thus is one of the ways that low-level members train their cooking skill.
Cooked sweetcorn heals 10% + 10 of a player's max lifepoints up to 100 points just by itself. For example, if a player has 730 maximum lifepoints, it will heal 83. It is more frequently used, however, as an ingredient in making tuna potatoes.
Players can also take raw sweetcorn to a windmill, put it in the hopper, and use an empty pot on the flour bin to get the corn flour used to free Sir Amik Varze in the Recipe for Disaster quest.
Sweetcorn is also a rare drop from Strykewyrms.
