{"product_id":"basil-dark-opal-4-pot","title":"Basil 'Dark Opal' - 4\" Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith deep purple, sometimes mottled leaves, it is grown as much for its decorative appeal as for its culinary value. Dark opal basil was a 1962 winner of the All-American Selection award. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike other purple basils, the purple color is from anthocyanins, especially cyanidin-3-(di-p-coumarylglucoside)-5-glucoside but also other cyanidin based and peonidin based compounds. 'Dark opal', along with other large leaved purple cultivars such as 'Purple Ruffles', has a high concentration of anthocyanins and is considered a potential source of red pigments for the food industry. The anthocyanin concentration is about 18 mg per 100 g fresh leaves, similar to Perilla frutescens, and greater than smaller leaved purple basils such as 'Purple bush' (at about 6 mg per 100 g).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature Height: 18\"\u003cbr\u003eMature Width: 12\"\u003cbr\u003eLight: Full Sun\u003cbr\u003eWater: Moderate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVisit Roger's Gardens Herb Almanac\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003cp\u003e* In-Store Pickup Available - Fees May Apply\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roger's Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43242077782087,"sku":"bpx1789734653153","price":4.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/5901\/2935\/files\/basil-dark-opal---4-pot_1.jpg?v=1789734657","url":"https:\/\/flatlockseamwear.shop\/products\/basil-dark-opal-4-pot","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
