Basil, Lime

Lime basil (Ocimum americanum or sometimes classified as Ocimum basilicum var. citriodorum) is a unique and aromatic variety of basil known for its bright, citrusy flavor and fragrance. Lime basil is highly versatile in the kitchen. It can be used in:    Salads: Adds a bright, citrusy flavor.    Seafood dishes: Complements fish and shrimp exceptionally well.    Beverages: Used in teas, cocktails, or infused water for a refreshing twist.    Desserts: Pairs well with fruits like strawberries, mangoes, and melons. Growing Conditions:   1. Sunlight: Prefers full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day).   2. Soil: Thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.   3. Watering: Requires regular watering, but avoid waterlogging the soil.   4. Temperature: Grows best in warm climates and is sensitive to frost.   5. Harvesting: Pinch off leaves as needed, and prune regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent flowering (if you want to prolong leaf production).
