Pulled this glass gem corn off one of the corn stalks just now. Looking good!

First time I've grown this kind, but if the rest of them look as good, it won't be the last.

This variety also grows pleasingly tall, up to ten feet.  I like that.

  1. That's pretty but how does it taste, roasted with butter and salt?

    1. That's the sweet corn. This is either for popcorn, cornmeal or just decoration. But then again I haven't cooked this ear either. Maybe for fun I ought to try that.

  2. I am not being facetious, but is the popcorn colored? That would be amazing.
    Congratulations on a beautiful ear of corn.

  3. Eating the corn might be racist.

    1. Calling it Native American or Indigenous people corn eases that racial dynamic...

    2. I'm just trying to shield you from charges of social appropriation by eating or growing corn (any corn). Since peppers, tomatos, yams, potatoes, etc. also came from the new world, you shouldn't eat them either.

    3. I know I'm a filthy sinner, but sinning feels (and tastes) so good.

    4. I was one of the first to receive that corn. I gave the seed away
      and it went viral a few years ago.
