Sweet Basil
Sweet Basil
The best and most aromatic basil, with a sweet taste and soft, tender texture. Perfect raw with tomatoes and as the main ingredient for a fresh pesto.
In the middle of summer, stash the flavour away in basil oil to use on pasta and salads right through the winter.
I've been spending quite a bit of time in Crete in the last few years, and now think of basil as an almost miracle plant. It protects against aphids and brings in beneficial insect pollinators to fertilise every flower.
In Crete they grow all their tomatoes, aubergines and peppers surrounded by basil for this reason and swear they double their crop. To extend your basil season when the evenings get cold, dig up your plants, pot them up and bring them indoors.
Please note, illustrated packets are being introduced gradually over the coming months, availability may vary.
