About Glass Gem
105 days. Pictures of this variety with its translucent shimmering kernels in an array of jewel tones went viral on Facebook in 2012. Since then, demand has skyrocketed. Several varieties of Osage and Pawnee Indian corns were crossed by Native American farmer Carl Barnes and his protege Greg Schoen to produce Glass Gem. The resulting genetic diversity makes each ear unique in its variety and combination of color. Ear size 3–8". Harvest when husks are dry.
