What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 9CT 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 Radicchio castelfranco
Salads, as New York foodservice buys them, cover three separate trades under one heading: field head lettuce (iceberg, romaine, green and red leaf), the chicories (Belgian endive, escarole, frisee, radicchio), and washed leaf blends sold ready to plate. Head lettuce follows the standard rotation our reference records — the California coast for most of the year, the Arizona and desert-California district through the cold months — and the handover between the two districts is when condition and price move most. Belgian endive is air-freighted in from the Netherlands and Belgium and frisee from Spain, which puts those lines on a freight-driven cost base rather than a field one.
Buying notes
Head lettuce is bought by count per case, chicories by the box or by head size code, and blends by weight, so two lines that both read "lettuce" are not the same unit and cannot be compared quote to quote. Several lettuces are also carried as a half case and a two-count, which is the practical way to trial an item before committing to the master case.
