If you mean baby corn, it's mostly used in oriental cooking. The individual ears are about 1 1/2 inches long and less than 1/2 at the stalk end. My grocery stocks them in cans by the other Chinese foods.

In Asia, baby cornis produced from specialty field corn varieties which have been selected for high quality baby corn production. These specialty varieties are field corn types (referred to as Su types) and if the ear is allowed to mature it will look like a typical, medium-sized ear of field corn. Baby corn ears are harvested early, when they are 2–4 inches long and 1/3–2/3 inch in diameter. In addition to the specialty baby corn varieties, some regular varieties of field corn (Su), sweet corn (Su), sugary enhanced sweet corn (se), and super sweet corn (sh2) varieties may also be suitable for fresh baby corn production. There is no taste advantage in using sweet corn instead of field corn as the immature ears are harvested before pollination occurs and before any sugars have accumulated in the kernels. The seed cost of most sweet corn varieties tends to be greater than seed cost of regular field corn, and this may be a disadvantage. Additionally, field corn varieties tend to be prolific (producing multiple ears) and this may contribute to their high yield potential for baby corn production.

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU..,...........

you often see baby corn in oriental vegetable mixes, and it often comes in cans. I believe it a chinese vegetable. I do know that you can grow it yourself if you want to. You would have to check seed companies on line to order seeds and instructions on how to grow it.
