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.
How interesting this black pearl glutinous rice is! It's sweet and fragrant.
This is my first time buying black corn like this. I hope it tastes good and I'll give it a try.
Not chewy, but sweet.
I didn't find it as tasty as the yellow and white ones. Although it's full of anthocyanins, it doesn't have the texture of sticky corn at all; it's hard, which I don't really like.
I always have this for breakfast. The kernels are smaller and firmer than the other three. I still like the glutinous corn the best.

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.
