I did a reverse image search on this, and what the algorithm tells me does make sense, but I wanted to confirm with actual humans this is what I now think it is!

Oops, I forgot to say, my first thought was basil as well, but it's definitely not basil (it does not smell like it at all!)

The algorithm thinks it's amaranth, so now that I have a human confirmation... I'm going to call it amaranth!

I hired a bunch of ninjas. The fridge is empty, but I can't find them to tell them the mission.
