Markets we can't price honestly
Philadelphia, PA reported 5 arugula listings, but every pack it quotes (cartons bunched) is a count or volume pack with no net weight. Dividing a price by a guessed weight is how you get a fake premium, so these are named and left out of the ranking rather than estimated.
Varieties quoted
A blended arugula median hides real money — the varieties of one crop can span several times low to high. The app prices each variety on its own.
