[Sca-cooks] OT - Canned White Shoepeg Corn

[K C Francis]

I only buy the canned Green Giant White Shoepeg Corn (here in California) because it is the best off the cob corn available.  In the summer I buy ears just off the stalk at the farmer's market.   I understand why it really want it for this recipe and recipes that specifically call for it make it clear it is different from the usual yellow corn available canned or frozen.
 
I too googled it and found the link below.  Is this brand not available nationally?  
 
I recently discovered that a wonderful product, Lighter Bake, is no longer being sold in California and the cheapest shipping costs for a jar of it ($1.95) is $9.75!!   Needless to say, I use the prune puree option which worked well for a super moist Orange-Scented Cranberry Bread that I had for breakfast this morning.  
 
Good luck on your search.
