{"product_id":"basil-red-rubin","title":"Basil Red Rubin","description":"\nAs the name suggests, Red Rubin Basil is a red-coloured basil. More specifically, it has dark, reddish-purple leaves and stems, making it most appealing for salads and garnishes. Another small difference from regular basil is that Red Rubin has a stronger flavour. Evidence of a reddish basil dates back to the 1830s, when the English botanist George Bentham first discovered an ‘opal’ strain of the plant. It wasn’t until 1950, however, that a genuine red\/purple basil cultivar was created: the Dark Opal. Red Rubin is a new, improved variant of this cultivar, having larger, more deeply purple leaves and being less prone to areas of green developing.","brand":"Piccolo Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44492769591435,"sku":"PS1004","price":3.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/0946\/5227\/files\/2235e7d96adfe9885ae575857e7af0dcd024af3f598ded8ca69774d54df0cfee.jpg?v=1763454214","url":"https:\/\/cornercopiastore.co.uk\/products\/basil-red-rubin","provider":"Cornercopia Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
