Glass Gem Popcorn was selected by the late Charles Barnes, a Cherokee corn grower from Oklahoma. He crossed many traditional varieties, saving seeds from the most vivid to create this highly diverse, breath-taking variety. Glass Gem can be ground for cornmeal or popped. We sold out of ours and reseeded the next crop today to be grown at @pentridgegarden. #zeamays #glassgem #glassgemcorn #glassgempopcorn https://www.instagram.com/p/B-2zJ-4AfJC/?igshid=15c1x2x2ziq1t

As an experiment, we planted some “Glass Gem” corn in the garden. A tiny packet of seed corn was given to us by a daughter. We had room for only a few plants, so we didn’t have high hopes that it would pollinate well. Today we pulled back the husks and found precious little ears of corn!

Opening up these corn husks definitely feels like Christmas ;D This type of corn can turn out to be almost ANY color so we’ll see what we get
