But wait, there’s more! This rainbow corn isn’t just a pretty face. Glass Gem corn is an edible heirloom variety, meaning the seeds have been passed down through generations. It can be popped for a colorful and whimsical snack, ground into unique cornmeal for baking, or even enjoyed fresh off the cob (though the kernels are known to be a bit on the tough side).

Where to Find this Colorful Treat?

While not as widely available as supermarket corn, Glass Gem seeds can be found from specialty seed suppliers. Growing your own allows you to witness the transformation from vibrantly colored kernels to stunning cobs.
