Glass gem corn

« on: April 19, 2015, 22:01 »

Been reading about Glass Gem Corn. It's fascinating stuff and I'm tempted to try and buy some seeds.

Has anyone grown it? Was it successful? Where is a reliable place to buy seeds?

As far as I understand, you can't eat it as corn, or even as normal popcorn, it's only for grinding into cornflour.

They sell seeds on ebay

That's a shame you can't eat them. I wondered if the eBay seeds are reliable.
