It arrived around 7 a.m., the delivery was very fast, and the product quality was also very good.
I just love things that are both cute and dark.
This one is really delicious! It's sweeter than the plain white one and the patterned one; it's both sweet and chewy!
Wow, those are two pretty big black pearls! I'll get them done in a bit.
It's not soft and chewy, and it's a bit crunchy. It's okay to try, but I wouldn't buy it again.
This is my first time buying this brand, so I don't know if it tastes good.
Looks great! This sticky corn is perfect for breakfast.
It tastes great, sweet and chewy, and the individual vacuum packaging is very convenient.

Excellent! The first batch I bought in July and early August tasted more like glutinous corn. The ones from early August were smaller and the heads weren't very fresh. This batch is very fresh and has the texture I wanted, similar to sweet corn. Because glutinous corn has a lot of carbs and a fast glycemic index, this one has more fiber and is healthier. Perfect!
Gooooddddd
It wasn't fresh, and the corn cobs were rotten or infested with insects, so I had to throw one away.
It's alright, but the top of the corn didn't grow any kernels
Looks very fresh! Looking forward to eating purple rice and corn.
I bought both anyway, but I don't know which one is purple.
Is this purple corn? It looks like it's been dyed, which is a bit unethical.
It tastes wonderful, with a subtle, refreshing aroma. Biting into it reveals yellow corn kernels inside. This is what real purple corn looks like. Natural purple outer skin + yellow interior. The purple husk in the picture isn't perfectly uniform; there are also some natural variations in purplish-red and dark purple, making it look more like the natural anthocyanins rather than an artificially added color. Anthocyanins are water-soluble, so they cannot be boiled directly in water. Steaming is the best way to preserve the antioxidant activity of anthocyanins.

The corn was delicious, I bought it again.
I bought both the pink and purple corn. I can't tell the colors inside.
Flowery glutinous corn is a type of fresh whole-grain corn with kernels displaying a unique visual appeal, exhibiting a mottled interplay of yellow, white, purple, and red colors. Its rich colors primarily derive from natural antioxidant pigments such as anthocyanins and carotenoids. It has a soft, chewy, and stringy texture: its starch content makes it translucent, soft, and resilient after steaming or boiling.
The sticky corns are really fresh and taste good.
Why is the corn I bought like this?
The corn is way too small, and was not expecting this. For $1.99 each seems way too expensive. It’s about 2-3 inches long. Not going to buy this again.
Looks quite fresh, first time buying.
LOVE this corn for the sticky texture! Will definitely order again.
Large, colorful glutinous rice and millet, crunchy and slightly sweet.

It heats up nicely and stays moist if you microwave it briefly. It doesn't seem to be seasoned, so I think it would taste even better if you added some salt or sweetness and steamed it. I would definitely buy this again!
I've been really craving chewy sticky corn, so it's great that I can order it like this~
