Before he knew it, the flint corn types he was growing and revitalizing in Santa Fe started to blend together. Once that happened he continued to blend the corn strains until he arrived Glass Gem multi-colored corn.
Translucent kernels shine like glass in a rainbow of colors. Sturdy stalks bear colorful 4-8” long ears with 2-3 ears per stalk.
