Originally from Central America, corn is now feeding the world (and in quite a polemic way too). But it’s not it’s fault! We can also eat good corn and in safe ways. No doubt it can be filling and delicious.
Americans we are big corn eaters and most production happens in Iowa (from mid-June throughout September), Nebraska (seasonal from July till October) and Illinois (where the season lasts from mid-July until October). If you want to know when is corn season in your state, please have a look at the following chart.
