Basil belongs to the mint family and is known for the culinary creations it helps provide, adding an aromatic touch to various dishes. From classic Italian pesto to Thai curries, basil has diverse varieties. Chives are known for their ability to regrow after cutting, making them a convenient herb for continuous harvesting. Regular harvesting also helps prevent the plant from flowering, as the flowers can have a milder flavor. Chives are a great addition to various dishes, including salads, soups, and as a garnish, providing a fresh and mild onion flavor.
