lime basil
Descrição
HOW WE GROW IT
A less common variety, grown for its distinct citrus character alongside our other basils. Same
approach: composted beds, no synthetic inputs, no pesticides. We grow it in full sun and harvest the
bunches before the plant begins to flower, when the leaves are at their most aromatic and the lime
note is sharpest.
THE PRODUCT
Unmistakably different from sweet basil — lime basil has a clean, bright citrus aroma and a lighter,
more delicate leaf. The flavour is fresh and slightly floral, with a genuine lime quality that isn't
overpowering. It opens up a whole different range of uses from regular basil, especially with fish,
fruit, and anything that wants a little acidity.
ORDERING DETAILS– Unit: Sold by the bunch– Harvest: Cut fresh on delivery morning
A TIP FROM OUR KITCHEN
Tear over grilled fish or prawns instead of reaching for lemon. Blend into a dressing with olive oil, a
little honey, and rice vinegar for a salad that works beautifully with mango or cucumber. Infuse into
cream or a simple syrup for a dessert base — pairs exceptionally well with strawberries or coconut
