Brussel sprouts

What is Brussel sprouts?

Brussels sprouts — small, tight green buds on the cabbage family, sold loose or still on the stalk. Look for firm, compact heads with no yellowing outer leaves.

Halved and roasted or seared until charred, then hit with balsamic, bacon, or fish sauce; shaved raw into slaws and salads; a steady fall/winter side across American bistros, gastropubs, and farm-to-table spots.

Brussel sprouts wholesale price in NYC

As of October 12, 2026, the wholesale quote for brussel sprouts in the NYC market is about $49.95. Over the past 12 months it's ranged from $29.95 to $99.95, with a typical week landing around $49.95.

That puts today right around where it's been all year — nothing unusual to plan around.

What's behind the price

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 brussel sprouts can shift week to week.

The yearlong trend has been easing (down about 9% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

Seasonality in the Northeast

Northeast peak is late fall through winter (October–February); sweeter after the first frosts.

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.

Buy by the stalk or 25 lb bulk when you have volume — sprouts hold longer on the stalk; loose cases should be tight and bright green with minimal loose leaves.
