Ocimum Americanum

The smooth, bright green, teardrop-shaped leaves have slightly scalloped edges and are smaller than common sweet basil. Lime Basil leaves offer a strong, sweet, citrusy scent and a mild yet zesty, peppery-lime flavor. While it is primarily used for culinary purposes, Lime Basil is also grown as an ornamental and is even touted as a natural insect repellent. The essential oil can also be extracted for use in soaps, candles, cosmetics, and aromatherapy, supposedly pairing well with floral, spicy, or citrusy essential oils like mandarin.
