This heirloom corn has tiny colorful kernels that pop up tender and crisp, with little hull. It is an older variety of ornamental corn with small ears that measure 3" - 4" in length. Kernels are a wide range of colors. The beautiful array of colors make the popcorn great for fall decorations. It can also be ground for corn meal.
