When corn is in season, fresh corn cobs sell for about 5 for $1. I'd guess each cob is about 1 pound, so we're talking $0.20/pound, or $0.44 per kg.

Obviously the corn cob itself isn't edible, so you're not getting a pound of food from each, but there is also bulk processed frozen corn year round that is still usually less than $1/lb.
