backwaterbutthole Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think i am just going to pick up 2 or 3 basil plants from the market next time i am there. $4.00 is cheap but its also insanely taxed for what it is. I just don't have the patience to grow from seed. Want to make pesto NOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakfast menu Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 yeah buying tasty leaves for that much hurts, it really does. if only growing and keeping basil wasn't so tricky. it's a finicky little bitch of a plant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwaterbutthole Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Is it true that i should pick the off the flowers? Heard they make the leaves taste bitter or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yep, take off the flowers - otherwise it will go to seed. All the energy the plant produces will be spent on the flower. The more you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!@#$% Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 ^reminds me of when jamie oliver went to west virginia and the children did not know where french fries came from. at least they were kids. i am way late to this party but basil is really easy for me to grow. dunno why there's be problems.. it's practically a weed. and yes, it's important to pick the flowers - that's the best way to get it to grow more. pick the leaves, not the stems, from the top down. some say not to use the stems but i've heard from chefs that the stems can have even more flavor than the leaves, so i just chop it all finely.

Fist 666 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It depends on the use. If I were using basil in a marinade for something I intended to roast or in a soup I would use the stems. If it were just getting a quick saute I probably wouldn't, depending on the stem as they can get woody with age. Same thought on a pesto--young stems would get used for sure.
