Ocimum basilicum
Perhaps the most popular and widely used culinary herb. Basil picked for use in the kitchen is best held in a glass of water at room temperature. Putting basil in the refrigerator results in discolored and unattractive leaves. Basil is easily dried for storing and future use. It is used to flavor soups, stews, tomato dishes, meat, game, fish, egg dishes, herb butter and herb vinegar. Please call the store (740)763-2873 for availability, prices, and sizes.
