Hi all, does anyone know where I can buy fresh Italian basil leaves from?

The ones I've seen here are the Thai Basil leaves. Thanks in advance.

Some ntuc has them. In the chilled vegetable sections....in small pots lol.

You can buy them from commercial gardens as well. About 10 bucks and raise them yourself as they can last for months and having a readily available supply is great.

I've got a pot of it at home. The problem is, that i need a lot of leaves (about 400g) just to make some pesto sauce. Besides, I also occasionally use them to garnish pizzas and pasta dishes.

If you have a pot, you should have quite alot. It needs to be harvested at least every 2 weeks and the amount should be 100-500g each time minimum. They grow very fast after all.
