Basil

Annual

By far today’s most popular herb, mainly used in cooked dishes. It goes very well with tomatoes, which is why it has been so popular in the Mediterranean for many years.

It is also used in salad dressings, vinaigrettes, and many other recipes, and it is the main ingredient in pesto.

Basil goes well with a long list of dishes, such as scrambled eggs, potato salad, egg salad, rice or pasta salad, tomato soup, bean dishes, vegetable dishes, chicken, lamb, ground beef dishes, spicy dishes, tomato sauce, and many vegetables.
