Unveiling Basil Blue Spice: A New Addition to Our Aromatic Collection

Prepare to tease your taste buds and elevate your culinary creations with our latest seed release: Basil Blue Spice (Ocimum basilicum).

At the heart of our spirit lies a deep appreciation for the aromatic wonders of nature. Herbs, often referred to as aromatics, play a pivotal role in elevating the flavours and fragrances of our cooking endeavours. Basil Blue Spice represents this essence perfectly, offering a symphony of flavours and aromas that will undoubtedly delight the senses.

What sets Basil Blue Spice apart is not only its exquisite appearance but also its charming fragrance. The leaves of this basil variety are smaller and narrower, enhanced with a vibrant green hue complemented by a delicate purple touch, especially on the undersides, lending them a captivating bluish-purple colouration. But it’s the aroma that truly steals the show – a impressive blend of spicy vanilla overtones that adds depth and complexity to both sweet and savoury dishes.

Whether used fresh in fruit salads or incorporated into savoury recipes, Basil Blue Spice lends a distinctive character to any dish.

When growing Basil Blue Spice, you need to sow the seeds in a sunny location, ensuring they receive enough sunlight to thrive. In frost-free areas, you can sow year-round, while in regions prone to frost, spring and summer are the optimal seasons for sowing and growing.

Harvesting is a simple task – just pinch off the tops of the plants regularly to promote bushier growth and a continuous supply of fresh leaves. Whether grown in pots or in the garden, Basil Blue Spice makes for a striking addition to any landscape, infusing it with both beauty and flavour.

With Basil Blue Spice, every meal becomes a masterpiece, every dish a symphony of flavours!
