Basil leaves are vibrant green, heart-shaped, and can be harvested when as petite as half an inch and as large as up to four inches in length. Basil has highly aromatic qualities and flavour profiles; the wide range of distinctive fragrances within its chemical makeup emit notes of citrus, clove, anise, and cinnamon, all providing a sensory memory that sets basil apart from other herbs. 

Basil is a delicate herb that can be used whole, chopped, crushed into a paste or dried. It is most commonly used raw in fresh applications or when finishing cooked preparations as heat alters the flavour and colour of the herb. Add strands of Basil to chopped, stacked and bread salads. Serve chopped atop pizza, pasta, chicken, and fish. Combine with pistachios, pine nuts and/or walnuts to make a creamy pesto sauce. The aromatic flavour of Basil pairs well with tomatoes, garlic, onion, corn, pear, mint, strawberry and cow’s milk cheeses.

Basil is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. It is a good source of Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), Niacin, Phosphorus and Zinc, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Folate, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Copper, and Manganese.
