Leafy Herb
Basil thrives in warm weather, making it most abundant in Queensland during the summer months, typically from December to February.
Basil is widely cultivated in home gardens and farms across Australia, particularly in regions with a warmer climate like Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. It grows well both in the ground and in pots, making it a popular choice for urban and home gardens.
Basil, known for its aromatic and sweet flavour, is a staple in Australian cuisine. Its popularity has remained high due to its versatility in cooking and its essential role in many dishes, particularly in Italian and Southeast Asian cuisines. There’s also a growing interest in using basil in innovative culinary creations, including cocktails and desserts.
Basil is a beloved herb in Australia, primarily used fresh to preserve its flavour and aroma. It’s a key ingredient in pesto, and its leaves are often added to salads, pizzas, and pasta dishes. Basil also pairs well with tomatoes and mozzarella in a classic Caprese salad. In addition to its culinary uses, basil is appreciated for its aromatic properties and is sometimes used in infused oils and vinegars.
