Please note that... leaves are rich in essential oils and have a strong pleasant smell. Fresh leaves are a valuable source of carotene and rutin. Fresh and dried leaves are good as a seasoning for fish and meat dishes, sauces, salads. Leaves can be used for canning vegetables and for flavoring confectionery.
Did you know that... the use of basil with purple leaves is similar to that of green-leaved basil. But purple leaves are especially effective on one dish with cucumbers, tomatoes and other fresh vegetables.
