But is this corn really real? We say: Yes!

What an ear of corn! Colorful grains, blue, green, yellow, red, in different brightness levels. One could assume that Photoshop-Philipp was at work here, but that's not the case. This type of corn actually produces colorful kernels.

A few days ago, the Facebook page “Trinity's Conscious Kitchen” posted a photo that has had quite a viral reach. Here you can read:

This is the most beautiful corn I have ever seen. It is a Native American variety called 'Glass Gem Corn' and yes it really does grow like that. I can't stop admiring it
(This is the most beautiful corn I've ever seen. It's a Native American variety called 'Glass Gem Corn' and yes, it really does grow like that. I can't stop admiring it.)

And in fact the answer is already in the text of the status message. This is a variety called Glass Gem corn or glass pearl corn. It's a unique variety of rainbow-colored corn that became an Internet sensation years ago when a photo of a colorful cob was posted on Facebook.

Naturally, interest in this type of corn, which is sold by a company called Native Seeds/SEARCH, grew. You can find further information about this variety on the website nativeseeds.org
