King of herbs

never lasts
i agree with the other reviewers, this product never lasts, even though i keep it out of the fridge as recommended on the pack and use within the 'use by' date. The leaves usually start to blacken within a day. Growing basil pots are much better. I do hope Ocado starts to stock them soon.
We have listened to our customers and we are pleased to say that we now offer Ocado growing herbs in pots including Basil.

Good basil
There is nothing wrong with the basil. I buy it every week. It lasts ages if you open the bottom of the bag and put the stems in water. Leaving the bag on helps to keep the basil warm and humidified. Basil goes black in the fridge, so it is better kept out.
Recipes
Shaun Hill's Burrata with Summer Salad
Burrata is a creamier, softer textured alternative to mozzarella. Shaun Hill serves the cheese with some delightful chickpea fritters which contain chickpea flour rather than whole chickpeas.

Paul Ainsworth's Chilli Chicken Pasta
This is a fantastic dish which can be almost cooked from start to finish in one pan. Any fresh pasta will do for this recipe however Paul recommends long pasta, which works well with the texture of the sauce.

Greg Malouf's Kibbeh Nayee
This dish would be fantastic served alongside other starters on a mezze platter. The fresh herbs and spices impart a wonderful flavour onto the beef.

Smoky Panzanella Salad
Grilled slices of courgette and aubergine in place of cucumber give a beautifully smoky flavour that's great for barbecues.

lovely
I love this basil, tastes wonderful in salads and cooking. I usually keep all my fresh herbs in the freezer, ready to use for a long time.
