Taste The Rainbow: Glass Gem Corn Looks Like Candy
This is Glass Gem Corn. It's a corn varietal with different colored kernels.

Seeds Trust, a family seed company, got the seeds for glass gem corn from Greg Schoen who got his seeds from his "corn-teacher", Carl Barnes, an 80ish year old part-Cherokee man, in Oklahoma.
You know what's even better than Glass Gem Corn? Glass Shard Corn. It's perfect for when you're cooking for your enemies. TONIGHT, WE DINE IN HELL! Jk jk, in the garage at the kid's table my mom set up.
