Escarole price chart, 1-year history
Escarole prices and seasonality
Escarole is a leafy chicory crop supplied by shifting domestic growing regions, especially California and Arizona, with Florida also important during cooler months. Because it is highly perishable, market supply depends on current harvests rather than long-term storage, and imports from Mexico may supplement domestic shipments. Weather, including heat, freezes, rain, and disease pressure, can quickly affect yields and quality, while heavy or light harvests can change terminal availability. Reported values are wholesale terminal-market prices, not retail store prices.
