How to make popcorn with Gem Glass:
First of all, save the best cob for the next planting season. From the others, take the grains and dehytrate them, you can use an oven at 50° for a few hours. The main thing to remember is that the corn needs the lowest humidity level in order to “pop”. Popcorn will be naturally white outside, but in the inside it will hold the Gem's colours.
