Glass Gem Organic Popcorn Seeds

A brilliant rainbow of colors makes this corn one of the funnest to grow hands down! Peel back the husks to reveal eye popping bright colors in every hue inspiring awe in children ages 1-100. The corn pops up white (with specks of kernel color) and delicious. Whole ears are easy to pop in the microwave or can be removed from the ear and popped in a pan. As a flint-type corn, it can also be ground into course cornmeal for polenta, grits, cornbread, or traditionally nixtamalized (soaked in limewater) and made into tortillas and hominy. Developed by Carl 'White Eagle' Barnes over a lifetime of work with corn in Oklahoma to enable many Native tribes, particularly Cherokee, to recover and reunite with sacred corn seeds.
