No. Variety here is meaning more like '6 general phenotypes' and I'm not interested enough to read what they're referring to. Corn differs in seed coat makeup and endosperm makeup- endosperm being the store carbs that the seed will digest and is for growth
It's really all 1 'variety' and separating them is kind of arbitrary-
Glass gem corn, the really pretty stuff, is a flour corn that will also pop - arbitrary
