This aromatic plant with broad leaves is very popular in the kitchen. It is ideal for garnishing and flavouring salads, raw vegetables, meats and sauces. A few chiseled leaves in a bottle of olive oil allow the seasonings to be flavoured
Tip Vilmorin : The proximity of the cucumber protects the basil from mildew and makes it more productive.
Sow from February to April, in pots or under cover, or in May, in the open ground and harvest 2-3 months after sowing, as needed.
Taste the leaves, in sauce, chiseled in salads, or with strawberries.
Benefit:
Broad leaves and powerful fragrance.
