What's behind the price

The yearlong trend has been easing. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Per case or per kilo?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Buy by the head and select firm, tightly packed spears with crisp tips; grilling caramelises the leaves and tames the bitterness.
