Supplier ref. 03025 · quoted October 16, 2026
Baby fennel is quoted at $36.00 / 24CT case in the week of October 12, 2026. That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation. The quote covers one 24CT case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 24CT pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does.
About Baby fennel
Baby fennel is a small whole bulb sold by the count, tender enough to be roasted whole or shaved raw with no core to cut out. That is the difference from mature fennel, where the kitchen trims the stalks, splits the bulb and removes the core: the baby bulb has almost no trim loss, which is what closes the apparent gap between the two prices. It is bought by the piece, so the count in the case is the number of plates it covers.
Buying notes
Compare per bulb rather than per case, and check the fronds, which go limp before the bulb does. Bulbs should be tight and unsplit — splitting means the plant was left in the ground too long and the bulb will be fibrous.
