Basil, African Nunum

African basil is a shrub type of basil, also known as clove basil. It is a common culinary herb in West Africa and is sometimes used in Caribbean dishes. These plants will spread if left to self-sow and are known to come back year after year. They will flower year-round in the right conditions and have a unique clove-like aroma. This huge-leaved, heat-loving Nunum basil comes from Ghana and is packed with incredible flavor. It has a rich basil taste that is perfect for making pesto. This distinctive variety has slight oregano and a mildly spicy flavor giving it a profile that stands out among basils. Add it to your salads, soups, pasta, jellies, and of course, make pesto!
