Why?

Enjoy the freshest basil for your pestos, pastas and soups. The perfect addition to any window ledge plant collection or outdoor herb garden.

You should be able to use a little of your organic basil right away, but it's best to grow the plant on for a couple of weeks before giving it a bigger chop. Keep in a warm, sunny spot (outdoors is fine if the weather is nice) and harvest regularly to encourage new growth. This is an annual plant so once it finishes for the winter, it won't regrow next year.

Country of origin – Belgium

Producer

Steven and Louis grow organic potted herbs near Duffel in Belgium. Each pot is carefully grown and tended to using rainwater irrigation and organic compost. The pots are kerbside recyclable in the UK, or can be reused at home.

Ingredients & allergens

Abel & Cole handles celery, celeriac, peanuts and nuts on site. Due to our packing process and re-use of boxes there is a risk of cross-contamination from these, and all other allergens.

While we do everything we can to ensure the information on this page is correct, ingredients, nutritional and dietary information are subject to change. So along with the information on our website, we always recommend that you read each label carefully before enjoying your items.

Storage & prep

A basil plant doesn't usually thrive at home so this won't be suitable for prolonged use. It can give you fresh basil in the kitchen for around three weeks, harvest generously and regularly but don't be disappointed if it doesn't regrow. Compost the soil, recycle the pot and order a new one.
