VANILLA

Vanilla Basil, also known as Mexican Basil, is a spice-aromatic plant with a unique taste and a rich cinnamon aroma. The leaves of this variety have a slight tartness and characteristic cinnamon notes due to the high content of the ether compound cinnamate, which gives the plant special value and recognizability. Due to rapid growth and high yield, Vanilla Basil is ideal for growing in open ground, greenhouses, as well as at home as a houseplant.

This variety of basil is widely used in cuisine thanks to its rich aroma. Fresh and dried leaves are added to soups, salads, meat and fish dishes, sauces, marinades, as well as in canning and desserts. Vanilla Basil goes well with various dishes, giving them an exquisite spicy shade and the aroma of natural cinnamon. In addition, its leaves are often used for decorating salads and sandwiches, as well as for flavoring drinks.

In addition to taste qualities, Vanilla Basil has useful properties. The essential oils of the plant have a bactericidal effect, promote improved digestion and normalization of the gastrointestinal tract. For successful cultivation of basil, moderate watering and good lighting are required, which ensures healthy growth and a rich harvest of aromatic leaves.
