Mammoth basil is a lettuce leaf basil variety, originating
from Italy. Like many culinary basils, it is a cultivar of Ocimum basilicum
(sweet basil). The plant grows to approximately 18 inches tall, and produces
large ruffled leaves with a jagged edge. The flavor is similar to, but stronger
than the flavor of Genovese basil. The leaves are used in pesto or whole, in
salads.
