I love lettuce-leaf basil or Basil ‘Lettuce Leaf’ depending on what you want to call it. I think it is a very pretty plant. The only problem is, I don’t want to eat it because it is so pretty.
The large leaves would make good mini-wraps, maybe around tomatoes and mozzarella? I just have to talk myself into actually cutting the leaves. The leaves really do look like lettuce up close.
I should just plant another pot of it, then I won’t feel bad about cutting on this one.

Just cut from the bottom… you’ll never notice the leaves are gone, and your mouth and belly will thank you!

Your suggestion using this lettuce as a wrap was more than I can resist. Are the seeds locally available?
