What is Italian Large Leaf Basil?

Italian Large Leaf Basil is an annual plant that will produce edible and fragrant leaves, flowers, and continue to put off a few more leaves through the process of ending it's life cycle. This basil grows well in "filtered light" (meaning near a bright window or under a tree), and it grows best in 50-90 degree weather. Warm, but not too warm.

Health Benefits of Italian Large Leaf Basil

Italian Large Leaf Basil has anti-bacterial properties and anti-inflammatory effects. It's been known to help people with inflammatory health problems like arthritis or IBS. Basil also contains properties that mimic food preservatives so it makes good sense to try and include more basil into the foods you prepare at home. Basil will help naturally preserve them so they'll be safer, longer. Basil also contains all the good stuff needed for better cardiovascular health.

Ways to Consume Large Leaf Italian Basil

Use this variety of basil in your favorite Neapolitan cuisine dishes! Use the extra large leaves, fresh or dried, in tomato dishes, pasta sauces, vegetable dishes and soups.

Still my favorite

Last year I accidentally pulled all seedlings but one and that plant lasted until the frost! This year I didnt pull the seedlings and have a bunch growing. I haven't been disappointed by these yet and it's a very flavorful basil! Sprouted in about 2 weeks

Great basil!

These seeds arrived quickly, and were brought to me in Africa. They grow great with near 100% germination rate! I love my tasty basil!

So far, so good

Since I'm in zone 5b, I decided to grow some herbs indoor until Spring. I planted 5 seeds and all came up just after 5 days. I purchased a sample pack and plan to grow the rest of the seeds outside.

Q: are these seeds from the USA? The last time I ordered heirloom organic basil seeds, it was not until I received them that I found out they were from China. I threw them away.He
