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 lettuce romaine can shift week to week. Current supply is landing from California, USA.
The yearlong trend has been easing (up about 38% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
