Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is an aromatic and culinary plant widely used in the cuisine of various cultures. Basil is known for its distinctive aroma and fresh, slightly sweet flavor. The aroma is especially pronounced when the plant is rubbed or cut, releasing the essential oils that give it its characteristic fragrance. Its leaves are bright green, oval-shaped, and have smooth edges. The texture of the leaves is soft, and their shape can vary slightly depending on the variety. This plant is generally medium-sized, reaching heights ranging from a few centimeters to about 60 cm, depending on the variety. It has an upright and branched growth habit. Under suitable conditions, it produces small white or purple flowers arranged in terminal spikes. Although the plant is more commonly appreciated for its leaves, the flowers are also edible.
