Pesto prices bite as chefs push basil abundance
Basil leaf cafe chef Bradley Walters says he buys 5 to 6 pounds of basil weekly for pesto while pine nuts climb to costly levels. He grows basil at home to cut costs and often uses walnuts as a cheaper alternative. Marisco’s co-owner Fee Monshizadeh notes basil costs about 12 to 13 dollars per pound, yet pesto’s strong flavor justifies the expense. Other greens like spinach and arugula offer cheaper pestos, and pesto freezes well for future use.
