Baby corn wholesale price — $36.00 / 5LB case

Supplier ref. 02946 · quoted September 7, 2026

Baby corn is quoted at $36.00 / 5LB case in the week of September 7, 2026. That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation. The quote covers one 5LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

About Baby corn

Fresh baby corn is a different item from the canned baby corn most kitchens know: it is a whole immature ear, crisp and mild, used raw in crudité or cooked quickly. The ear is cut before the kernels fill and is picked by hand at that stage, which is what the case price actually carries. On a New York list it is a specialty vegetable bought for texture and appearance rather than a volume item.

Buying notes

It comes in a single case size and is priced by the case; check the cut ends, which dry first and are where a tired case shows. Use it within days — fresh baby corn does not hold the way the canned product it replaces does.
