Job's tears -coix lacryma jobi
Cornseed, used to make rattles and jewelry, edible, ornamental, annual grass. A grass that produces seeds that have a natural hole in them for stringing into necklaces or other craft uses . The inner seed is also harvested as a food source.
They are tear-shaped and a lovely, variegated gray color. Job’s tears grow all ready to use as a bead with a hole through the middle and a hard, shiny coating.  Like with so many things, there’s nothing like home grown, and once you hold your first handful of home-grown job’s tears seeds, you’ll never go back.
Job tears are the seeds of a grain plant, much like a small, skinny corn, or a really robust rye. A drought-resistant grass needing little in the way of nutrients.:
 Used for beads since at least 2,000 B.C. Once an important source of food, most likely originating in India. When the polished grain-like seeds are mature, there is a perfect hole through the middle, literally nature’s perfect bead. Used for making rosaries and for musical African shaker gourds. Prolific grain-like plants. Annual, 75-90cm tall.
