The leaves of basil are smooth, broad, and flat with prominent veining, found in shades of bright green to dark green and purple. Basil leaves are highly fragrant and offer distinct aromas of anise, clove, citrus, cinnamon, and camphor due to a rich content of essential oils. The leaves can be harvested at multiple maturity stages, bearing different flavours with each variety, and generally have an herbal, sweet, and nutty taste with fresh licorices nuances.
