About Broccoli florets
Despite the name, this is the brassica group as the New York trade actually buys it: green, red, savoy and napa cabbage, but also broccoli, broccoli crowns and rabe, broccolini, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale and kohlrabi. The group is offered year-round, with California and Mexico as the base supply and New York State, Quebec, Ontario, New Jersey, Maine and the Southeast cutting in when their fields are running. These are hand-cut, cooled crops, so a heat event or a labor problem in the shipping district shows up in the quote quickly rather than gradually.
Buying notes
Heads are ordered by count or by a size code, broccoli by the bunch or as crowns by weight, and florets by the bag, so a cabbage quote and a broccoli quote are not the same unit even on the same order. Most lines here also exist as a half case or a two-count, and we list every pack we see quoted rather than reducing them to a single figure.
