What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 12-24CT 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 red oak lettuce
Baby salads are loose leaf bought to be used as it arrives: baby arugula in a bulk box, and baby oak leaf, green and red, in count cases of small heads. The difference from baby lettuce is the format rather than the plant — arugula is weighed, oak leaf is counted — and that changes how two offers compare. Both are short-cycle plantings, which is why the same items stay on the list all year from rotating growing districts rather than appearing and disappearing.
Buying notes
The bulk box is the cheaper way to buy leaf if the kitchen washes and portions its own; the count case buys presentation, since whole small heads plate differently from loose leaf. Once a box is opened the clock runs on the whole box, so buy against a few days of service.
