Poor growing conditions in California are pushing prices higher and limiting supply on lettuce, cauliflower, and broccoli. Avocados are also seeing higher prices, with more large fruit and fewer smaller sizes available. Limes remain tight on larger sizes but are starting to improve in quality. Brussels sprouts, Italian parsley, artichokes, grapes, berries, and asparagus continue to run high due to supply constraints. Meanwhile, celery, kale, leeks, sweet potatoes, and grapefruit are holding steady. Squash, zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, hot peppers, tomatoes, and corn remain volatile, with some easing in price but ongoing quality concerns.
