Sweet Basil
Sweet Basil is the classic all-purpose culinary basil — a vigorous, productive variety with large, glossy, intensely aromatic leaves and a clean, sweet, slightly spicy flavor that is the backbone of Italian cuisine and summer cooking the world over. Equally at home in fresh pestos, Caprese salads, bruschetta, tomato sauces, and cocktails, a single thriving basil plant can supply a kitchen all summer long. Pinch the flowers regularly to keep the leaves at their most flavorful and the plant lush and productive.
