If you are inspired to grow glorious Glass Gem Corn, I can guarantee you one thing, every single one will take your breath away with its unique and beautiful colour personality. I had a huge response to my ???????? posts, thank you for all your questions and warm feedback????. Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions if you are inspired to grow Glass Gem Corn in your garden; 1️⃣Are they real? - Absolutely, yes! . 2️⃣Where do I get seeds - try Eden Seeds online or @bakercreekseeds @theseedcollection @johnnys_seeds @boondieseeds . 3️⃣Can you eat these, are they tasty like sweet corn? - no, they taste ordinary and starchy with a chewy consistency. They are best used for making popcorn once the kernels have dried or some make corn flour out of them. They also make beautiful ornamental decorations because they hold their colour well and only fade a little over time. . 4️⃣Can you save seed and will they germinate - absolutely, once you have had a successful crop you can save seed for the following season. . 5️⃣Do they grow like sweet corn - yes they thrive in similar conditions and require the same gardening methods and nutrient requirements. . 6️⃣How do I cure and dry them - place them in a cool dry spot or on a drying rack and turn them every few days until the kernels have hardened and all the moisture content has evaporated. You know they are ready by depressing your finger nail into one of the kernels, if they are hard and no moisture escapes they are ready for popping. . 7️⃣How do you pop them - Once dry, you pull off the individual kernels and pop them as you would store bought pop corn, on the stove or in the microwave. . I love the blues and greens, what's your favourite colour?????????????????
