Rice Hull Pot - Basil

Fresh Basil is the cornerstone of Italian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Laotian cooking - it's also a great way to beautify the kitchen!

This Basil Planter conveniently delivers fresh seasonings year-round. Fresh Basil leaves are the most potent and flavorful. The essential oils that give Basil its flavor can evaporate quickly after the leaves are plucked. With an herb planter in your kitchen, there's no need to rush out to the grocery store when you cook.

Basil tastes wonderful in pasta sauces, pesto, fried chicken, chocolate, and even ice cream! It has a flavor like mint with a hint of nuttiness, and has a very gentle texture. Basil flowers are also used as a salad garnish, and they have a reputation for helping with weight loss.

Basil includes a variety of essential oils that give it a strong and nuanced flavor. These include eugenol (clove oil), limonene (found in lemon peel), camphor, camphene, and others in low concentrations.

This Basil Growing Pot makes a wonderful gift. It's perfect for housewarmings, going away presents, welcoming new co-workers, graduation, marriage, and other events worth celebrating. Or, you can get it for your own kitchen, and invite guests over to enjoy a meal cooked with fresh basil!

This pot is made from renewable resources and is naturally biodegradable. It is made from rice hulls mixed with organic pigments and other grain hulls. These natural components give the planter a beautiful texture and one-of-a-kind appearance.
