Best buy
Three jars of green pesto on the same shelf, judged on the one number the label buries: how many grams of basil went in per 100g of the jar. The everyday Sainsbury's jar has both the most basil at 48% and the cheapest price, so it is the runaway best value per pound of basil. The premium Taste the Difference jar has the least basil at 24% and is the dearest per pound of basil by a wide margin, with the Sacla brand jar (45.5%) in the middle. Here, more money buys you less basil.
Ranked by cost per 100g of actual basil — shelf price with filler stripped. Sources on each pack's own page.
