Genovese – Organic Basil Seeds

Popular ‘pesto’ style Italian large leaf variety, the dark green large leaves of this basil have a fresh and spicy fragrance. A great option for pots and containers.

The basil flavour is reduced when flowers start to form, so pinch out the buds as soon as you see them!

Health & Culinary Notes

  • Nothing pairs better with basil than tomato and garlic.
  • This variety makes a wonderful pesto and is perfect for Pizza, or even a flavour hit to potato dishes.
  • Hint – when preparing, tear leaves instead of cutting for better flavour.
