What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 1KG pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does.

About Basil thai
Basil is quoted by the kilo on this list rather than by the pound, which is worth knowing before setting it beside the rest of a price sheet. Three types trade side by side in New York: sweet basil as the volume item, Thai basil for Southeast Asian kitchens, and opal basil, a purple specialty used mostly for plating. Supply runs all year out of tropical growing areas that ship continuously, with fields close to New York adding to it in the warm months.
Buying notes
Basil is the herb most easily ruined after delivery: it blackens at normal walk-in temperature, so it is held warmer than the rest of the produce order and used quickly. Buy to what the week needs rather than to the case, since there is no way to store the saving.
