What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 8CT 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 Cape gooseberries
Cape gooseberries — physalis, the husked orange berry used for garnish — reach New York from a single documented origin, Colombia, and our reference data notes that supply is always very light. That is the defining fact: there is no second source to arbitrate the price, so what you are quoted is essentially what arrived. They are sold in a small count pack and used by the piece, which makes the pack price, not any weight, the number that matters.
Buying notes
Single-origin, light supply means availability is the real risk rather than price — confirm the item is on the truck before committing a dessert to it. The husk protects the fruit better than its appearance suggests, but it remains a garnish item bought in small volume.
