Description

Le basilic doux est un sous-type de basilic commun au goût plus doux ou réglissé. C'est le meilleur choix pour les sauces et les soupes italiennes et pour faire du pesto. Les feuilles de basilic doux résistent mieux à la cuisson à haute température que le basilic commun, elles sont donc largement utilisées dans la cuisine sud-asiatique.
