LEMON BASIL
There are many different basils you can grow. The most commonly grown is ‘Genovese’ with its large leaves and distinctive flavour, but you can get basils with different size and shaped leaves. Some may be dark purple, some ruffled. We are giving away lemon basil this month and, as the name suggests, it has slightly citrus overtones to the flavour.
Lemon basil can be used the same as other basils, but it will work well with chicken and fish dishes too. It will also make a lovely pesto or you could finely chop and stir
