It depends on what you're looking for. You'll struggle to grow something as sweet as store bought sweetcorn but you can easily grow corn with deeper and richer flavor at home. Just make sure to select a variety meant for direct human consumption and not animal feed or ethanol (some are for human consumption but only once processed).
US industrialized food is almost universally bland and tasteless compared to home grown because they're picked too early and bred for aesthetics and transport - it's an issue every immigrant I know struggles with. On top of that, there are dozens if not hundreds of different varieties that haven't been commercialized for every fruit or vegetable in the grocery store so there's a whole world of flavors and textures that most people haven't experienced.
