What is Basil?
Fresh sweet (Genovese-type) basil, sold in bunches or boxes. Aromatic soft herb with broad green leaves that bruise and blacken easily.
Pesto, margherita and Neapolitan pizza, caprese, finished on pasta and tomato dishes; Thai and Vietnamese kitchens use it (or Thai basil) in pho garnish and stir-fries. Italian and Southeast Asian menus both depend on it.

What's behind the price
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on 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 pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound 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.
Never store basil below ~50F, the cold turns leaves black; hold it cool but not in the walk-in's coldest spot, stems in water if possible. Buy tight to par, it's one of the fastest-wilting herbs.
