About Basil Seeds - Lettuce Leaf
Ocimum basilicum
Lettuce Leaf Basil, a type of sweet basil, features large, crinkled leaves that grow on a short, wide plant. While the flavor is sweet, it's not as intense as other sweet basil varieties, making it ideal for adding to salads or using as a wrap for fish, chicken, or rice stuffing for grilling. This cultivar is surprisingly not new, as it has been growing for over 200 years! For those who love basil, the benefits of growing Lettuce Leaf Basil are apparent at first site, as the size of the leaves offer a more abundant harvest.
