Description

Italian Large Leaf Basil, or Sweet Basil, is the most popular and common of all culinary basil cultivars. Basil has highly aromatic qualities and flavor profiles. Offering a splendid and fragrant complex aroma, spicy Basil provides culinary, as well as ornamental pleasure. It grows heart-shaped leaves that can be harvested at the size of a fingernail up to four inches in length. This variety has a powerful flavor with a hint of sweetness — a more delicate flavor and fragrance to the Genovese variety. It’s ideal for Italian recipes.

Packed with essential nutrients, low-calorie Basil contains protein, dietary fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, vitamins A, B6, C, E, and K, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and folate.
