What is Baby kale?
Young, tender kale leaves harvested small, triple-washed. Softer and less fibrous than mature kale, with no tough stem to strip.
Used raw in salads (no massaging needed), wilted into pastas and grain bowls, blended into smoothies and green juices, or quick-sauteed as a side. Popular on health-forward NYC lunch and bowl menus.

Why the number moves
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on baby kale can shift week to week.
The yearlong trend has been easing. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Seasonality in the Northeast
Local Northeast supply strongest spring and fall; flavor sweetens after a light frost, while greenhouse and Southern product cover the rest of the year.
Per case or per pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound 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.
Inspect for yellowing and condensation in the clamshell; baby leaves bruise easily. Keep cold at 34-38F and rotate within 2-3 days, it doesn't hold like mature kale.
