Basil 4" Pot

Basil (Ocimum basilicum) has large, glossy green leaves that have a wonderful, slightly sweet and peppery flavor that is vibrant and invigorating. Basil is used in all sorts of dishes, from classic Italian tomato sauces and pesto to Thai curries and Vietnamese salads. Basil is incredibly versatile- it pairs beautifully with so many different ingredients, like garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, cheese, and even fruit. It is also packed with beneficial nutrients and is a great source of vitamins A and K, as well as antioxidants.
