Basil
Basil is a great herb to add a punch of flavour to your fresh and cooked dishes. Basils smells like summer time to me. It is the most flavourful when used soon after harvesting.
Storage
We've found the best way to store basil is on the counter in a jar of water, with a plastic bag over the top (which keeps it from wilting). Second best: wrap the bunch in a paper towel and place it in a plastic bag in your fridge. Be careful to keep the leaves dry: wet basil leaves willturn black in the fridge.
