Jelly Beans On The Cobb

[Jim G.]

This brightly-colored ear of “calico corn” is not only real but also EDIBLE. The kernels look like jellybeans, don’t they? It’s a rare strain of corn called Glass Gem.

6. It's better for popcorn, tortillas and grits than eating.

It's not a sweet corn. It's more of a heritage corn, better for an accompanying starch,/bread than eating straight with butter.
A neighbor grew some, and ended up giving the rest of his crop to our other neighbor to make maza -very colorful maza.

8. I've been obsessed with the Glass Gem corn since I first saw it.

It makes beautiful harvest decorations.
