Product description: Sweet Basil is the most common and the most popular of basils. With its prolific bush full of large, dark green leaves, sweet basil lives up to its name in so many ways, not the least of which is its intoxicating aroma. Basil, commonly known as sweet basil, common basil, or even St. Josephwort, is also dubbed in France as ‘l’herbe royale’. Originally, the term "basil" meant a mythical snake whose eyes could kill the one who crosses it. From the fourteenth century, it also refers to this little spice, probably because it could appear on the table of kings. Originally from the center of Africa, it was domesticated in India and then distributed throughout Asia and brought to the West by the soldiers of Alexander the Great 300 years before our era. These multiple trips have encouraged the selection of hundreds of varieties in various parts of the world, which have specific characteristics and very different essential oils. Basil is a popular herb in European cooking, particularly Italian dishes. Its delightfully aromatic leaves reveal a wide variety of flavors from lemony, minty to cinnamon and even licorice. Even the leaves of the many different varieties are unique, the colors ranging from green to deep purple with smooth leaves or even crinkled leaves.
