Basil Lime
It’s basil, you guys. But it totally smells like lime. And that’s the wonderful thing about living in the 21st century – you can plant weird, rare herbs from halfway across the world and they will smell beautiful and taste even better and all of your friends will be impressed. The end.
Originally from Thailand, Lime Basil is sweetly fragrant and has a mild citrus taste. Use it as you would ordinary basil, or tap into your inner artiste and use it to flavour sauces, dressings and desserts. We believe in you.
