Summary

As the name suggests, Lemon basil has lemony aroma and flavor. Silver-green plants have intense basil flavor with a touch of lemon. The flowering stalks can be added to bouquets to provide a pleasant lemony fragrance. Lemon basil is great for fish, chicken, teas, potpourris, and salads. It is pretty much the only basil used in Indonesian cuisine.
