Description:

Glass Gem corn grows 3-8 inch ears. The height of plants can reach up to 9 feet or more in my location but typically reach 6 to 7 feet in some other locations. The jewel like kernels are a stunning translucent array of rainbow colors. Each one a unique specimen. Shucking each ear is like opening a gift, for it is a delight and surprise inside each husk. This is a beautiful decorative corn but is also good for eating. We have made grits, polenta, popcorn, hominy and cornbread from Glass Gem corn and it was all very good.

Story of this Seed:

I first started growing Glass Gem in 2014 with seed from Native Seed Search. For the past several years I have been test popping every ear that goes into my stock seed to improve its popping percentage. In 2020 and since I planted only seed from ears that test popped 100%. I have also selected for ears that have a higher popping volume.

I am looking to do an Idaho Grown Corn Lager for our Brewery (Sockeye Brewing).
Do you have any varieties that you'd recommend for that? Is that something you could help us source?

Can this seed be used for making popcorn?

- Yes, I pop a lot of Glass Gem corn. It is important to have the moisture in the 13.5 to 14% range for the best results. The seed I sell might be around 10%, so it will pop but not as well as if it is rehydrated.

- Glass Gem yields well on fertile soils, likes warm to hot sunny days and ample soil moisture. If sweet corn matures in August in your area Glass Gem should do well there.

Hello. When you selected from your harvest this year did you keep all of the seed with interesting colors and characteristics or just a small subset of them? I'm just wondering if the seeds will have the same color and glossyness of the original Glass Gems.

Thanks,
Mark

Posted by Mark Shymanski on 04/16/2015

What's your answer? type your answer here
Answers 1
- I selected for glossyness , color, soundness, translucence and selected against opaqueness and predominately dark colored ears. I have culled out over 50% of the ears and I believe my seed is more attractive than the seed I planted.
