Baby spinach is quoted at $16.95 / 4LB 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 4LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

About Baby spinach
Baby spinach is field-cut young leaf sold in a bulk box, tender enough to serve raw and small enough that it needs no stemming. It is a different purchase from bunched mature spinach, which comes with stems and grit and is bought for cooking, and from bagged triple-washed leaf, which is washed and dated by a processor. The bulk box is the working format for kitchens that wash and portion their own leaf.
Buying notes
Buy the box against a few days of service and check it from the bottom, since baby leaf collapses from the bottom of the box upward and looks fine on top. Keep it cold and unpressed — weight on a box of baby leaf bruises it quickly.
