A popular herb known for its citrusy fragrance and flavor.

The leaves are smaller and narrower than sweet basil, with a light green color. They are smooth, lance-shaped, and can grow up to 2 inches long. The plant has a bushy growth habit.

As the name suggests, lemon basil has a strong, fresh lemon scent and flavor, which comes from its high content of citral, a compound found in lemon peels. The flavor is a bright, citrusy twist on the classic basil taste, making it a favorite for dishes where a lemony zing is desired.
