Hey! 🙂
This corn blows my mind!
This is from last year, I do plan to grow lots more corn next year, but I’ll have to start it indoors over the winter for it to have enough of a growing season.
Dry corn is an excellent food to grow and preserve for later. You can grind it into flour, use as healthy animal feed, sprout it, or soak overnight then season and bake it!
Lots of ideas!
Have you grown any dry corn?
What’s your favourite way to use it?
Thanks for stopping by!

I haven't tried growing the Glass Gem corn yet, but I've grown other heirloom varieties of hard corn. My favorite is Painted Mountain corn. Painted Mount corn was developed in western Montana from at least 50 different strains of Native American corn varieties. It's a short season corn that is somewhat drought tolerant and will grow at altitudes up to at least 5000 feet above sea level. It is also supposed to be quite nutritious as compared to modern corn. It gets 5 to 6 feet tall on average. It is a multicolor corn, but doesn't have that glass like look.
