What is Yellow corn?
Fresh yellow sweet corn on the cob, husk-on, sold by the bag or crate of ears. Sweet, juicy kernels that lose sugar quickly after picking.
Mexican elotes and esquites at NYC taquerias, grilled corn sides, summer succotash and corn salads, chowder, and shaved off the cob into salsas. Peak-season local corn is a summer special-board staple.

What's behind the price
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on yellow corn can shift week to week.
Across the year the trend has been up (up about 33% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Seasonality in the Northeast
Peak mid-July through September in the Northeast (NY/NJ local corn); best the day it's picked. Imported supply runs the rest of the year but with less sweetness.
Per case or per pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Sold by the crate, usually 4 to 5 dozen ears. Buy local in season and use within a day or two, the sugars convert to starch fast. Pull back a bit of husk: kernels should be plump, milky and tight to the tip, with a green husk and pale-gold silk.
