What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 4OZ 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 Micro petite spinach lilac
Petite is a size class above micro, not a variety — the plant is grown a stage further, so the leaf arrives with a real blade and a stem sturdy enough to hold dressing. That changes what it is for: a petite spinach can be plated as a salad in its own right, where a micro leaf can only be scattered. The lilac in the name is the stem colour, which shows against the green blade and is the reason this line is chosen over ordinary baby spinach for a composed plate.
Buying notes
Do not treat it as a substitute for baby spinach by volume: it is grown to a smaller scale and priced accordingly, and using it to build bulk in a salad is the fastest way to make it look expensive. It holds better than the true micro lines because the leaf has structure, so it tolerates a delivery day that a clamshell of cut seedlings would not.
