What is Red basil?
A purple-red-leaved basil variety with a slightly stronger, spicier aroma than green basil. Sold by the bunch or pot.
Used as a vivid garnish, in salads, infused oils and vinegars, and to add colour and aroma to plated dishes. The colour can bleed when cooked, so it is mostly used raw.
Red basil wholesale price in the UK
As of April 27, 2026, the wholesale quote for red basil in the UK market is about £1.76 — it's held close to flat at that level across the past 12 months.
That puts today right around where it's been all year — nothing unusual to plan around.
What's behind the price
UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on red basil can shift week to week.
It's held pretty steady across the year. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per kilo?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Buy by the bunch and use quickly as basil bruises and blackens fast; store cool but not cold to avoid chilling damage. A premium garnish herb, so order to need.
