Descripción
La albahaca dulce es un subtipo de albahaca común con un sabor más suave o a regaliz. Es la mejor opción para salsas y sopas italianas y para hacer pesto. Las hojas de albahaca dulce resisten mejor la cocción a alta temperatura que la albahaca común, por lo que se utilizan ampliamente en la cocina del sur de Asia.
