Basil, Lime

$299 USD

Lime Basil is as fresh and uplifting as it sounds. The bright green leaves are infused with a zesty lime fragrance and tangy flavor that’s best used fresh in coconut-heavy Asian dishes, seafood dishes, fruit salads, limeade, cocktails, and salad dressings. Add at the end of cooking to preserve the citrus flavor, then garnish with the edible flowers.

Harvest the leaves and stems from the top part of the plant, and pinch off edible flower buds as they appear, which prevents the leaves from turning bitter, and signals the plant to branch out and grow more leaves, making a bushier plant.

The more you harvest, the more it grows!

      Lime Basil

      Love this lime basil!
      These seeds arrived quickly, and were brought to me in Africa. They grow great with near 100% germination rate! This lime basil smells and tastes amazing.

      Smells and tastes amazing!
      After tasting the first leaf, I decided to muddle the leaves into a glass of limeade and it was perfect! Lime basil also brought a special something to homemade pesto mixed with the large leaf italian basil from my sample gift. Next I'll try drying the leaves for tea.
