Our basil is sourced from a range of different suppliers to provide the best selection of top quality herbs everyday.

Basil is best used either raw or added at the end of cooking. Basil has many medicinal uses and is also known to deter flies.

It is fully available from November to April, and has a more limited supply for rest of year. Many varieties of basil with differing leaves and intensity of flavour are available. These include sweet basil, the most commonly found; dark opal, a dark purple leafed basil; lettuce leaf basil, which has very large green leaves; and fino verde, which is green with very small leaves.
