- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest purple basil is in the early morning when the essential oils are at their peak, ensuring the best flavor and aroma.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems just above a pair of leaves. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth. Store harvested basil in a cool, dry place or refrigerate it to maintain freshness.
