Which herb is in the picture?

I like using basil.

Complimentary with tomato sauce-based dishes and in panini sandwiches.

JezzerLX, Too true. As an American living in Britain I am constantly being corrected for saying o ray gan o instead of orie gonno, and baysil instead of bahsill. I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, so I pronounce both as my Italian friends and in-laws do.

We have a pot in the kitchen with sweet basil and purple basil. We love to use it in sauces, on pizza, with a grape tomato... yummy!

caprese salad is the best

reminds me I need to water mine...ooops

Ray C, the Thai basil certainly tastes different!

Love basil! Never had purple but need to look for it. I wonder if it tastes different?

It is also used to treat snakes and insects bite.

I grow both of these along with many other herbs. I like the look and scent and use in cooking.

Among the top 10 air purifying plants to keep in our home- Basil or Tulsi ranks in the 10th position because it purifyies many toxic chemicals from air like arsenic formaldehyde etc.
