Sidrunbasiilik

Sidrunbasiilik, also known as "sidrun basil" or "sweet basil," is a variety of the culinary herb Basil (Ocimum basilicum). It is characterized by its large, dark green leaves and a sweet, slightly peppery flavor. Sidrunbasiilik is native to the Mediterranean region and is widely cultivated for its culinary uses. It is often used in Italian cuisine, particularly in dishes such as pesto, where its sweet flavor complements the nuts and cheese. Sidrunbasiilik can also be used in salads, soups, and sauces. The plant is relatively easy to grow and prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It is a tender perennial in temperate regions but can be grown as an annual in colder climates. Sidrunbasiilik is valued for its aromatic leaves, which are used fresh or dried in cooking.
