Spicy Bush Basil

We will have this tasty basil for sale as plants this spring. They almost form a perfect ball. This is more spicy than regular sweet basil. Awesome w/chicken or in chicken soup. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor & zest to our summer dishes. When using fresh herbs, always double the amount that is called for in a recipe. Unless it's stated as 'fresh' most recipes call for dried herbs. Basil leaves bruise easily and can discolor quickly from leaf damage. Cut it by the stem and snip off leaves with a scissors. Get your garlic, won't be long now...
