Basil

Jacobs Farm

$3.99

1 bunch

Basil is so much more than that one, sad green leaf you find haphazardly tossed into your marinara or on top of your pizza. Basil adds a fresh, pungent richness of summer flavor to any of your fresh dishes, salads, or sauces, as cooking this herb for longer than a minute or two leads to a bitter, unpleasant flavor. Chiffonade basil to top salads or sauces for a fresh kick, serve whole with mozzarella di bufala and tomatoes for a super fresh caprese, or whip up with some pine nuts and olive oil for a super-satisfying pesto.
