Mini Leaf Basil contains many vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, and E, fiber, and antioxidants.

Like other basil, the Mini Leaf Basil is packed with Vitamin K, which helps with blood clotting and aids in bone strength. Used medicinally for its antioxidants and antibacterial properties, basil oil provides an immune system boost and combats aging and skin ailments.

Let your Mini Leaf Basil tell you when it needs watering. It should start to wilt. Overwatering will dilute its flavour, while stressing it will increase the production of essential oils, improving its flavour. To stop your Mini Leaf Basil from getting too leggy, pinch back the stems just above new side shoots. Do not refrigerate as the chill will quickly turn the leaves black. Leave your potted Mini Leaf Basil on your kitchen bench away from draughts and preferably out of direct sunlight.

Mini Leaf Basil leaves are just so versatile, perfect as topping on pizzas, pastas and to make a spicy pesto.
