Basil, Greek
Ocimum basilicum var. minimum - This dwarf variety of basil is popular in Mediterranean cooking. Greek basil has a spicy, lemony taste with an intense basil flavor.

Besides its delicious flavor companion planting with tomatoes, it's full of Vitamins A, K, and C and is rich in magnesium, iron, potassium and calcium! It can also act as an antioxidant, helping the body to get rid of free radicals. Use it in pestos, salad dressings, to flavor water, or general cooking. You can also use it to help ease upset stomachs by mixing in teas, or steep as a facial steam to help alleviate headaches.
