GLASS GEM CORN

Combining a blend of three unique heirloom corns, early Native American Indian's would bring us the most beautiful maze/corn in the world. Glass Gems presenting in rich hues ranging from indigo and magenta to shiny pearl black and emerald green kernels are also edible!

Delight your family with the tasty goodness of real homegrown sweet corn (when picked young) or Popping Corn (if picked when the husk have turned completely brown).

A little history: In the 1800's many heirloom seeds belonging to the Native American Indians, were destroyed or lost with their forced relocation's throughout the United States. The Pawnee and Osage were two such tribes. Eventually making their way to Oklahoma, it was their sacred mix of heirloom seeds that would later give birth to the famous Glass Gems.

A little later history: During the turn-of-the-century, a local Oklahoma farmer named, Barnes, began tracing his Native American lineage, leading him to the Pawnee and Osage tribes. For his efforts, each tribe gave Barns many of their treasured maze seeds. Barns cross-pollinated three heirlooms creating the brilliant jewels he called Glass Gem.

To make popcorn, dry completely on the husk until kernels fall off. Once popped they will lose their color but taste great!
