Is basil even sold in lots? I thought it was sold in bunches?


You cast lots for it, like the Romans did Jesus’ clothes….

Haha. I meant a LOT of basil - like 8 ounces. Usually I can buy a 4 oz bag at the farmers market in the summer for $10 but that isn't an option now. My giant has not had any basil other than the very tiny containers. I will try wegmans, thanks for the suggestion.

Whole Foods has basil plants in bags in the produce section. Just strip the leaves. I freeze them and they crumble, no chopping.

Yep, that’s where I buy mine. Whole plants are usually $5.

Lotte (or any international grocery store) has huge bunches of various types of basil. It’s really inexpensive too.

My mother asked that I make a dish for her birthday that I always make with fresh pesto. Any suggestions for where I can get a big basil plant now? Or does costco sell big bags of basil? TIA for any suggestions. (and yes, I could just get a jar of it somewhere but she really likes the fresh pesto).
