Sweet Basil - Genovese
Perhaps best known as a delectable ingredient in pesto and caprese salad, fragrant basil is a delicious and nutritious addition to a wide variety of recipes. A member of the mint family, along with other culinary herbs like sage, rosemary and lavender, basil has been cultivated worldwide for over 5,000 years.
