Description
Glass Gem is a flint corn with kernels that shine in a sweep of jewel tones—blue, pink, gold, green, orange, and deep red, all arranged differently on every ear. Preserved through the seed-saving work of Carl Barnes, it carries the wonder of corn as both food and living history.
This is not a sweet corn for fresh eating; it is grown for dry ears, decoration, cornmeal, and popping. Let the ears mature fully on the stalk, then peel back the husks to reveal the kind of harvest that makes a person stop and stare.
