Summary

Cinnamon basil was given its name because it contains methyl cinnamate, the same ingredient in cinnamon. The basil has a sweet cinnamon aroma and a spicy-sweet flavor. Not only does this basil smell like cinnamon, it looks beautiful too. Cinnamon basil has deep green leaves, dark purple stems, and pink flowers.
