Gem Glass Corn (Zea mays)
LANCIO SACCHETTI DI NATALE
Gem Glass (Zea Mais) : This spectacular popcorn corn is a true marvel of nature. The cobs are studded with translucent kernels like precious gems, three or four per plant, and the cobs range from 12 to 20 centimeters in height.
The size of the plant depends greatly on the amount of water and the quality of the soil, ranging from 60 cm to 1.5 meters. The corn is ready 90 days after planting.
This variety, like strawberry corn, is suitable for growing in large pots or even on balconies.
How to make popcorn with Gem Glass.
Leave a few cobs from the best plants to collect seeds for the following seasons, shell the others and put them, if you have them, in a dehydrator, otherwise in the oven at 50 degrees until they are well dehydrated.
The secret is precisely this: the kernels must have low humidity to "pop." Gem Glass popocrons are colored inside, from purple to pink.
