I like growing Columnar basil (sometimes called Greek Columnar Basil). It grows upright like a little hedgeâperfect for small spaces and container gardens. Plus, it keeps producing leaves longer into the season than many other basil varieties!
18-Day Basil Oil
Basil grows well here in central Ohio. What to do with all that basil? It doesnât freeze or dehydrate well. It often turns black and loses that fresh, vibrant taste we love.
Thatâs why basil oil is such a great solution! It locks in the flavor and gives you a taste of summer every time you drizzle it on pasta, bread, or salads. đ¶âš
Come and Shake the Jar!!
I'm serious about shaking the basil oil every day! Come visit the store and give our basil oil jar a shake yourselfâitâs the best kind of hands-on learning.
Benefits of Basil
Basil isnât just deliciousâitâs also uplifting! The scent alone has been linked to reducing stress and boosting mood. A little herb with a lot of heart. đ
Basil also brings wellness benefits for the body: supporting immunity with antioxidants, helping digestion, and even soothing occasional coughs. đ A true kitchen healer!
