Sweet corn is at its best during the late summer months to early fall.
However, in the summer months when it is available fresh, it is most often cooked and eaten on the cob.
Sweet corn is also cut off the cob and eaten as a vegetable side dish or added as an ingredient to other dishes, such as soups, stews, casseroles, and salads. The corn can be cut from the cob, raw or cooked, and then preserved by canning or freezing for future use.
