Romaine and green leaf lettuces remain very tight and expensive. Broccoli crowns, artichokes, asparagus, onions, apples, colored potatoes, and strawberries are also elevated. Meanwhile, iceberg lettuce, cauliflower, limes, tomatoes, watermelons, blueberries, and melons are easing as supplies improve and post-holiday demand slows. Squash, zucchini, and green peppers are tightening due to weather and regional growing transitions.
