What is Lettuce escarole?
Broad-leaf chicory — sturdy, slightly bitter green leaves with a pale, tender heart. Cooks down like a hearty green but is mild enough to eat raw, a fixture in Italian-American cooking.
Sautéed with garlic and oil, the classic escarole-and-beans, dropped into Italian wedding soup, braised as a side, or torn raw into salads with the pale hearts. Holds up to heat and long simmers better than soft lettuces.

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 4% 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.
Pick full, crisp heads with green outer leaves and a blanched, pale center; the heart is the sweet, tender part. Keeps 4–6 days cold; grit hides in the layers, so wash thoroughly.
