This ear of corn might look like costume jewelry, but it’s 100% natural, a rare heirloom breed called “Glass Gems.” If you planted the kernels, every different color would grow into an entirely different corn plant, with a different mix of genes from the original!
Glass Gem corn was developed by a Native American farmer who noticed that every so often, a cob showed signs of unusual colouring shining through. Heirloom American Indian varieties were used as the source of genes for these special corns.
Now the unique strain is available for purchase online, and is in hot demand from gardeners keen to add a touch of colour to their vegetable patch. Try Makulay.com
