\n“There are thousands and thousands of uses for corn, all of which I will tell you about right now.”<\/em><\/p>\n Check THIS out!! This brightly-colored ear of “calico corn” is not only real but also EDIBLE! The kernels look like jellybeans or candy, don’t they? It’s a rare strain of corn called Glass Gem and you can grow your own with seeds from Etsy seller Sherwood Seeds<\/a>! I mean, not THIS year, but definitely for next year!<\/strong><\/p>\n Extremely rare, this unique strain of flint corn was developed by Carl Barnes, who, before his passing, gave these seeds to friends who shared his passion in gardening.<\/p>\n These seeds come directly from our small farm here in Fallsington, PA. We have been growing and breeding corn varieties for years and it has been a pleasure to work with Glass Gem. We have worked to improve the glassiness and color variation in this variety and can now boast 3 different strains including the Glass Gem, Rubies\/Amber and Pearls\/Sapphires.<\/p>\n Glass Gem is a flint corn which can be made into a decent popcorn or ground into flour. We think it’s so beautiful to simply look at.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
