Lime basil is tasty summer herb to add to your salads, pestos or dried, as a tea. Lime basil is a heirloom variety, botanically classified as Ocimum americanum, and closely related to lemon basil. Lime basil is relatively rare, but can easily be differentiated from sweet basil by its strong lime scent. The species is also referred to as American basil, Hoary basil or Hairy basil, for their hairy stems. In India, Lime basil is referred to as Kali tulasi.
Lime basil has light green, tear-drop shaped leaves with smooth, slightly toothed margins. The leaves are smaller than the more common sweet basil. The leaf stalks can grow up to 40 centimeters long, and during the mid to late-summer months will produce long bracts of tiny white flowers. The leaves offer a strong, somewhat sweet, citrusy scent all but masking the camphor scent common to sweet basil. They have a very distinctive lime flavor, due to the high concentrations of the volatile oil citral.
