I'm completely ignorant to when fruits/vegetables are in/out of season. I know corn is not in season now, but does that mean corn on the cob is completely out of the question? I really want to make a recipe involving corn on the cob but the two grocery stores closest to my house had none. Is it worth checking other stores or am I just wasting my time?

Seems so obvious now. I was just wrongly assuming that all frozen corn would be off the cob.

Turns out a little harder to find than I thought. I went to 2 Whole Foods, 1 King Soopers, 1 Safeway, and none of them had fresh or frozen corn on the cob. Finally, Super Target came through and had some.
I'm in CO, btw.

Costco always seems to have it up in Alaska. God knows where it comes from and don't expect a lot of flavor or freshness.

Sometimes I see it come in from Florida in early Winter. Then sometimes shucked but fresh packaged corn comes in from Chili.
Depends on what you're doing with it. Canned and frozen corn can be high quality but nothing will do if you're expecting mid summer corn picked the same day.

Yeah, I'm seeing it at farmers markets here in Miami now. I don't think it's a big export crop, though.

All my local grocery stores have it right now, but the cobs are all really small and kinda sad looking.

I stock produce for a large retailer and we got some corn in earlier this week.

Southern California here. The two grocery stores (Vallarta, Costco) I shop at have white corn on the cob.

We've got it here in Southern Texas :/

In southern California yes.

I'd skip buying on the cob from the freezer section and go for HUSK brand sweet corn instead. They harvest, cut it off the cob and freeze it, while in season. It tastes amazing! And best part is, it's Indiana sweet corn
