Squash blossoms wholesale price — $49.00 / case of 50

Supplier ref. 04110 · quoted October 5, 2026

Squash blossoms are quoted at $49.00 / 50CT case in the week of October 5, 2026. That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation. The quote covers one 50CT case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

Twelve months on, the quote is within 2.1% of where it started, at $48.00. The line is unusually flat for a fresh item: no week in the series moved it by more than 2.1%. Monthly averages barely separate across our series — no month stands out as the cheap one.

What is in the case

The supplier states no weight for the 50CT 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. Squash blossoms are quoted in two pack sizes this week, from $32.00 for the 25CT to $49.00 for the 50CT. 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 Squash blossoms

Edible flowers are bought by the blossom: cases are quoted in counts, and a case of violas and a case of orchids are the same kind of purchase in different colors. Almost all of it is grown under cover for foodservice, so the calendar matters much less than the delivery — blossoms are fragile, and what a kitchen is paying for is a full count that arrives intact. The exception in this group is the squash blossom, which is a vegetable rather than a garnish: it is stuffed and fried, it comes out of a field, and it is the one line here whose price behaves like a crop.

Buying notes

The same flower is listed in more than one count, so cost it per blossom before comparing cases. Flowers bruise in transit and do not hold, which makes them a same-week order and a poor item to commit a standing menu to.
