For the most part I agree that the quality of frozen veggies is very
good. But (you knew there was a "but" coming didn't ya?) In the case
of corn, our local corn is excellant and puts the stupidmarket stuff
to shame, even when it's frozen. I go out of my way to buy enough
local corn when in season to ensure a stock of corn in the freezer to
last until the next growing season.
