Sweet basil has the classic Genovese Italian basil flavor and aroma that goes perfect with salads, sauces, pasta dishes, and much more.

Cilantro has a strong flavor and smell that is often used in salsa, Mexican cuisine, and Indian cuisine. We typically offer young tender cilantro shoots, but will occasionally offer mature cilantro with seedheads/flowers, which is typically called coriander.
Availability: Semi-regular, Spring and Fall
We offer dill both as 'dill weed', which is picked when the plant is young and tender, and as 'dill seed', which is picked when the seedheads have matured (and often dried). Dill weed is milder and well suited (fresh or dried) to salads, garnish, seafood, and potato dishes. Dill seed has a stronger flavor and is typically used in pickles.
Availability: Semi-regular, Spring and Fall, Dill seed available during summer
