Basil (1 bunch/5-8 stems)

Basil, or Ocimum basilicum, is an herb from the mint family known for its fresh, aromatic, and often sweet, licorice-like flavor, which varies by type. It has square stems, opposite, silken, light-green leaves, and white flowers arranged in a spike. Primarily grown as an annual, basil thrives in warm conditions and is essential in Italian, Thai, and other cuisines, notably in dishes like pesto.
