corn broom

Traditional bristled cleaner

A corn broom is a traditional broom made from bundled broomcorn—the stiff, fibrous tassels of a sorghum plant.

The familiar flat-bottomed shape with a wooden handle has been standard for household sweeping since the 18th century: She grabbed the corn broom to sweep the porch.

Distinguished from synthetic brooms or those made from other natural fibers.
