mokiki Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I know that corn is considered a grain for the W30 and is therefore out, but does this include fresh, local sweet corn? Fresh corn and tomatoes are probably my favorite foods of summer, so now that our farmers markets are flooding with corn, I'm having trouble justifying skipping it, considering I have such a short window to enjoy it. Would eating an ear mean that I'd have to start from Day 1 (it honestly may be worth it)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It's freshness or local-ness doesn't change its grain-ness, sorry! I will leave a mod to chime in re re-start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Derval is right, fresh corn is not permitted on the whole30. Here is a recent article on the topic of restarts: http://whole30.com/2014/06/really-start-whole30/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted July 31, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2014 If you want to eat corn, do a Whole30 after the season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokiki Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks all for the brutal honesty! I'm on Day 11... hopefully there will still be plenty of corn on Day 31 so I can enjoy some as my first reintroduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.c. Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 mokiki - try shucking and freezing a few ears just in case. this is how my family always had "fresh" corn from our garden all year long. Incidentally, I've found I'm quite sensitive to corn now... couldn't rule that out before the Whole30 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
