What is Lettuce escarole?
Escarole, a broad-leaf chicory with sturdy ruffled green outer leaves and a paler, tender heart. Slightly bitter, holds up to heat far better than soft lettuces.
A workhorse in NYC Italian-American kitchens: wilted into escarole and beans (scarola e fagioli), folded into Italian wedding soup, sauteed with garlic and chili, or used raw in the blanched heart for a bitter winter salad.

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 lettuce escarole can shift week to week.
The yearlong trend has been easing (up about 20% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
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 case (usually 24 heads); look for crisp, full heads with no rust or sliminess at the base, and store cold and dry to slow browning on cut edges.
