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 regular eggplant can shift week to week.
The yearlong trend has been easing (up about 14% 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 firm, heavy-for-size fruit with taut, shiny skin and a green cap - dull or wrinkled skin and brown seeds mean bitterness and age. Store around 50F, not in the cold walk-in, and use within a few days.
