| Notes | Lettuce Leaf Basil Type: Mild & Large-Leaved Basil Key Strengths: Extra-Large, Tender Leaves: Boasts exceptionally large, crinkled leaves that resemble lettuce, offering a unique texture and visual appeal. Mild, Sweet Flavor: Possesses a gentler, less intense sweet basil flavor compared to Genovese types, making it versatile for various palates. Excellent for Wraps & Salads: Its large, pliable leaves are ideal for using as wraps or adding substantial, non-overpowering basil flavor to salads. Good Productivity: Plants tend to be vigorous and produce a good quantity of these large, usable leaves. Attractive Plant Structure: Often forms a lush, bushy plant with its distinctive large foliage. What Makes It Special: Lettuce leaf basil is unique due to its remarkably large and tender leaves, unlike the smaller leaves of more common basil varieties. Its mild, sweet flavor is also less assertive, making it a great option for those who prefer a more subtle basil taste. The large leaves offer exciting culinary applications, particularly as wraps or a substantial, flavorful addition to salads, setting it apart from basils primarily used for chopping or sauces. |
