Cinnamon Basil Seeds
The spicy-sweet flavor and showy purple color of
Cinnamon basil make it one of the most popular basils.
Cinnamon basil has a strong cinnamon scent and sweet flavor. This
basil pairs nicely with other fruity flavored herbs. You can add
Cinnamon basil to your apple pie fillings, and it tastes great added to an apple sauce or raisin sauce for pork or ham. It is also great for a refreshing summer tea.
The leaves of this
basil can be used fresh in cooking or dried in tomato dishes, pasta sauces, vegetables and soups. You can also put them in bottles of olive oil to make cinnamon-flavored oil. This oil is a fovorite for frying apples or bananas.
Cinnamon basil has sturdy, dark purple/red stems, with dark green, cinnamon scented leaves. This
basil produces small pink flowers.
As with all
basils, you can also use this basil in the garden as a natural insecticide to repel aphids, mites, and tomato horn worms.
