Lime basil (Ocimum americanum) provides the traditional flavor of basil with a tangy hint of citrus, resulting in a refreshing herb that adds flavor to fish, poultry or rice dishes, for baking and blends well in oils, sauces, salad dressings and tea.
I thought that I loved lemon balm....I thought I loved lemon thyme....But, that was before I grew lime basil! This is great in tea. That's the main reason for the exotic basils in my herb garden. I'm sure it's great in all kinds of recipes that works well with citrus. But this can be used as an ornamental especially along walkways and even in night gardens where you would walk past and brush the plant and get that wonderful citrus-y scent! I love the aroma of this herb so much and I can't resist running my hand across it so I can smell it! I think I want to make a mattress stuffed with it...ahhh what heavenly dreams! Oh sorry...I got carried away.
The winner will receive 15 pod fresh seeds from my plants.
