The most beautiful corn in the world

Meet glass gem corn, a throw back to corn in its original state,
when it had multi-colored kernels. This corn was the result of some
fortuitious maintenance of heirloom seeds, and can be bought at the
Seeds Trust Institute (though
there is a waiting list until August). Unfortunately, though, it is
not as good as it looks – in fact, it’s flint corn. Flint
corn is the corn type that is treated and ground into
flour for tortillas, hominy, polenta, and tamales, a fairly
laborious process. Still, sometimes beauty is enough.
