Basil

Basil has large soft leaves in a vibrant green color. The flavor is sweet and aromatic, with an uplifting spicy note that is often compared to pepper or aniseed.
It matches beautifully with olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic, onion, tomato, chili, pasta, egg, zucchini, capsicum, pizza, and green salads. Basil can be preserved by infusing the leaves into vinegar or oil.
