Yes, they are pretty pricey, that's why I shop for my produce at a
local supplier, it's cheaper and great quality.
This is my favorite place for produce. They supply more than 1,000
restaurants in the area and the produce is top notch.

It's also a great source of information. On the left hand sidebar,
just click on the produce you are interested in and you will get it's
history, taste, use and several recipe suggestions.
