What is in the case
One case of cilantro is invoiced as 1LB, the weight the supplier states on the pack. Cilantro is quoted in two pack sizes this week, from $9.85 for the 1LB to $15.50 for the 1KG. The quotes are not comparable per pound — the supplier does not publish a weight for every pack — so we list them side by side rather than ranking them.

About Cilantro
Fresh herbs are a low-volume, high-frequency line: a kitchen orders them every week, in small quantities, and notices the price immediately. Supply into New York rotates through southern growing regions in winter and moves north to New Jersey, New York's Orange County and Ontario in the warm months, so the same herb can arrive from a very different place depending on the season. Because bunches are light and perishable, a bad week in the shipping region is felt directly — there is no storage stock to draw on the way there is for roots or onions.
Buying notes
Herbs are the part of the catalogue where the unit varies most — some lines are quoted by the kilo, some by the pound, some by the case and some each — so compare a herb against itself over time rather than against the herb next to it. Ginger, garlic and spinach sit under this heading for catalogue reasons but behave like storage or leaf vegetables, not like cut herbs.
